Nissan replaced spacer axle (43070-7s200), bearing (40210-7s210), and seal (43252-7s200).

During a recent oil change, the technician pointed out the axle end seals were leaking onto the rear brake rotor assembly on my se king cab. This reduces the brake's ability to stop. I currently have 81,000 miles on this 2005 model. My extended warranty ran out at 75,000 miles just about 6 weeks ago and this problem was probably happening during the warranty but I didn't notice it as I change my own oil myself most of the time. After looking over the internet, I have found that this is a common problem among the Titans. Nissan should address this problem as they did the brake problem.

According to internet forums for Nissan Titans, there have been numerous problems with this and it appears to be a safety hazard. Nissanusa continues to give me the run around by avoiding any dialogue.

We own a Titan and are satisfied but had some issues as can be expected with a newly designed vehicle. Each has been taken care of under warranty from our dealer alan jay of sebring florida, a very professional operation I might add. The one most recent of concern caused brake interruption and when I inspected the brake system one of the rear brakes appeared to be leaking, which I suspected that to be the problem. The dealer determined that it was a rear axle seal and replaced both the seal and the bearing which had become damaged. After checking the internet I have found this to be a quite common problem that has been overlooked. We use this vehicle daily for business and already have 44,000 miles on it and it is not yet two years old. My concern is my warranty will run out with exceeded miles brfore the time limit and the other axle can have the same problem. Why did they only change one? I would like the other side changed as they are identical in design. Please respond to my request, this can be dangerous situation.

I was changing rear differential oil found leaking form the driver side axle seal and pinion gear shaft front seal. If axle seal leak gets worse it might get on to the abs sensor and brake disk and emergency brake (little drum disk) and cause serious safety problem.

Leaking oil is also a environmental hazarded. So many people seems to have this problem, by researching on the internet.

Two differential failures within 60,000 miles on my 200 Nissan Titan. Both failure involved wheel seal leaking and loud noises from the differential. My third differential installed by Nissan is the same Nissan stock number so I expect a failure within a few thousand miles. If I don't trade my Titan in before the 12,000 mile warranty on the new differential is up, I will have to pay the $ 3000 + to replace it. I see new stock numbers on the new 2007 models but Nissan refused to give me one of those unless I paid for it. Bet you can figure that one out. Nissan needs to extend the warranty on these differentials.
