At 16,000 first axle seal leak. Then at 74000 miles second leak. First was fixed by Nissan and second leak was told could not be fixed,complete rear differential had to be replaced oil getting on brakes and rears that could possibly break easily could be a safety concern. Seems to be a common problem with some Titan trucks. This is the first rear differential I had go in 48 years of driving and attribute this to a bad designed and cost cutting by Nissan.
