2006 Nissan Titan rear axle seals leaking. Seems to be fairly common among Titan owners.
Rear axel seals leak oil onto the rear brake pads.
Routine inspection of rear axle revealed axle seal leak on passenger side. Left rear axle seal blew out and leaked differential fluid. Differential fluid leaking on rear brake rotors which could cause brake failure, which was a major safety concern to me. At time of failure at 53675 miles no suspension modifications had been done to vehicle. Also, the rear differential oil will slowly leak and cause the rear differential to lose fluid and fail. Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200). As this seemed to be a very common problem with the Nissan Titan, Nissan should address this issue and offer a permanent fix so weould not be faced with the safety issue in the future.
I have owned a 2006 Nissan Titan since March 17, 2006 and have had a severe rear axle leak two times in less than 32,000 miles. The first leak was due to a faulty left side axle seal and was replaced under warranty. The latest leak, which was communicating differential oil over the entire underbelly of the truck including the exhaust system and rear brake rotors was determined to be a faulty pinion seal which was repaired under warranty. I am afraid that this will be a recurring issue that may have potential for fire or unsafe vehicle operation due to oil reaching the brake rotors and the exhaust system.
I have a 2006 Nissan Titan and been having problems with the rear drive axles leaking differential fluid. I had the first problem happen around November of last year. My right hand side of the axle was leaking so I replaced the seal, spacer, and bearing on that one side only. Now, my left side axle started to leak around April. I started to notice when my rear brakes started smoking while driving down the highway. I've had my vehicle parked since then and in the process of replacing the seal on it.

2006 Nissan Titan le rear end started making roaring noise, took it to dealer. Turned rotors,(85% on them) continued to make noise. Drove it for several weeks , it got louder. Took it back to dealer, service advisor stated gears, and bearings defected, replaced rear end under warranty.
I was driving down the freeway when I experienced a loud clunking noise from the rear end on my 2006 Nissan Titan. It has been determined to be total and complete failure of the rear differential assembly.
Rear axle fluid leaking all over including brake rotors. First notice a small leak and continued to be larger over time.
I continue to have a constant whining sound coming from the rear differential unit at 55 & 60 mph. The unit was replaced by the dealer at 29335 miles because it was whining at 55 mph. The new unit was quit when new but now is as loud as the previous one at 60mph. This sound is annoying & never goes away while driving these speeds. I am concerned it is a design flaw & will either fail when it is out of warranty or cause me to be stranded. I hear a lot about axle seal leaks & diff. Units failing on the Titans. The current mileage on the truck is approx. 35k.
