Description of the problem	Noticed oil / grease on rear tires sidewall. Taken to nissan dealer for inspection. Mechanic found a failure of both rear axle seals causing fluid to cover rear axle, differential, rear brakes, and tires. I was advised to not drive the truck due to possible axle and wheel separation from the rear end. If i had not found this i could easily be dead due to wheel axle separation from the vehicle in motion. This is a major safety issue and the vehicle recalled for this problem. After repair was performed the mechanic told me the rear axle housing vent tube clogged causing pressure to build up blowing out the rear seals. Nissan corp. Usa was notified but declined to assist customer with extensive repairs stating that although being under the 60,000 mile power train limit the vehicle was 5 months over the 5 year age limit. Nissan corp. Usa did not view this as a safety issue.
