Wow, I was so excited to finally order my Cajun axle vent mod kit, got it yesterday in the mail, then one of my friends warned me about possibly voiding my warranty. I checked with my Nissan tech and he shot me down, telling me that "it should not be altered with non-factory parts while still under manufactured warranty."
Here's how it went down. I probably didn't word it right, I'm at work and I had to keep sneaking in with someone watching over my effing back. Sucks to share an office

You are now chatting with Corin
Corin:Thank you for choosing the Bill Dodge Auto Group. My name is Corin how can I assist you?
Tanya:The Titan’s rear axle vent is well-documented for sticking/getting blocked, causing pressure build-up, blowing the axle seals or allowing water intrusion. There is an inexpensive kit on the market consisting of a threaded nipple, 6 ft hose and small fuel filter proven to prevent costly replacement. Would installing this kit void the warranty? There is already a “nipple” vent on the axle, this would be nothing more than a hose and filter attached to it. Please advise.
Corin:Give me one moment I am going to check with the service adviser for you.
Tanya:thanks
Corin:What year is your Titan?
Tanya:2015
Corin:He just said that it should not be altered with non-factory parts while still under manufactured warranty.
Tanya:What is covered regarding the rear axle failing, mileage, parts/labor/rental,etc
Tanya:The vent on the rear axle is a documented design flaw that Nissan will not address, are there Nissan factory parts for replacement of this vent?
Corin:I am going to have a service adviser contact you, would phone or email be best?
Tanya:Thank you. Email would be best. I'm at work and I share my office. You can email me at

Corin:Okay I am going to have Bob Colson email you.
Tanya:Thanks!
Corin:Not a problem Tanya!
