Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

Can you file these with NSTHA? (however you call it) If so we ought to keep track of these like the rear ends it seems the read ends and axle seals are a major flaw for the Titan

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

When filing with NHTSA, they ask questions as if they are interested in whether the failures caused an accident, not if a part failed. I'm not sure I'm going to file it. It asks you speed of the incident, etc. I was only planning on reporting that my Diff leaked on the left rear.

Anyone think Nissan will have a recall on this item soon? My truck has 77,000 miles so out of warrranty and the axle seal is leaking.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

Hey, I noticed they have a TSB on it. Something about a breather? Does the TSB mean anything to us? I have take mine in 2 times. No mods to the back in of my truck. The last time I took it to another dealer and they were trying to tell me I had to take it back to the one that did the original work. After I pretty much told them no they looked at it and said there was no leak despite the diff. being wet looking around the bolts. The said they understood what I was talking about though. They didn't fix my leaking rear windows either!

That TSB has to do with removing the breather from the old axle and installing it on the replacement unit.

Are you getting a new rear diff assembly just because of the leak or do you a diff failure??

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

Report it as a safety problem. Possible brake failure.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

it sounds like these are going bad just like the rear diff. I wonder what is the culprit?

My personal theory is heat with crappy breather system.
