2008 Nissan FRONTIER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	895912
Internal NHTSA #	10438943
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	FRONTIER
Model Year	2008
File date	30/08/11
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Left rear axle seal failed and grease from axle coated caliper and brake disc, rendering braking ineffective on that wheel. This is a known issue with nissan with a technical service bulletin (ntb100008) issued, but nissan only selectively applies the repair. Grease coating the brake appears visually the same as brake dust, and owner's manual requires inspection of seals only every 7500 miles, so braking may be lost for a considerable period of time before discovery. Serious accident was narrowly avoided on 10-14-2011, ironically on return from dealer, when car ahead stopped in lane to turn left; hard braking and swerve into right lane avoided collision but truck stopped with front grill at same point as front seat in the stopped car.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
