The exhaust manifolds on this vehicle are extremely prone to cracking. There are hundreds of reports online of them cracking so Nissan is certainly aware of the issue. They cracked on my vehicle and exhaust gasses leak into the passenger compartment so this is definitely a safety hazard.

Two cracked exhaust manifolds. At times I an getting exhaust fumes into drivers compartment. I understand this is a wide problem with Nissan 5. 6 l v-8s and a big problem with the Titans. My local Nissan dealer est. Repair at $3,507. 50 and he told me the it is not uncommon for both to fail at the same time. Nissan customer support will not do anything. I started have problem at 100. 000 mile I am at 124. 000 now. From what I have been told this is a design defect. I think this should be made into a recall. My truck looks like new from the outside.

I had the dealer inspect the vehicle. They said both exhaust manifolds had cracked. They said there was a previous notice from Nissan and they should be replaced.
