it's a known issue. take it in and it should be covered under warranty.
Yep, that's you're best option. The spider gears likely failed. They will replace the entire rear end assembly.

When they do, make sure they also put the axle vent from your old axle assembly into the new one. They've been known to leave the plugs in them. This in turn causes pressure to build and then the axle seals blow out. The vent is located on the LR axle tube, inboard of the shock mount on the top side. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT BEFORE LEAVING THE LOT!!!
Yep 50,000 mile warranty covers it!!
It's a 60,000 mile warranty if I'm not mistaken, at least thats what my 05 is??
which is why a good reason to sell ure Titan and get a Dodge Ford or Chevy and ure problem will be solved, Titans have nothing but problems
funny thing chevy guy my buddys 04 z71 truck poped its rear end at 65 thousand miles o and it wasn't covered he had to pay to get get it fixed it was 2 grand out of his pocket so nissan's are not the only ones dumb ***
