Description of the problem	While driving the car to a family function (20 miles, mixed highway and local) heard a slight noise followed by a sound like a tire going flat. Slowed to check tires, when noise stopped. Continued to destination without another occurrence. Car sat for approximately 2 hours, then we returned home, again mixed highway and local roads. No noises or indicator lights on dashboard. Upon exiting highway, heard a very loud bang from the front end, similar to driving through a deep pothole. There were no potholes on the highway ramp. Limped to home (approximately 1 mile from end of ramp), car was smoking and there was some noise from front end, but it could still be driven. Upon arriving home, saw that the car was leaking clear fluid from the front center-right of the vehicle. Had car flat bedded to local service shop for diagnosis and repair. Local service shop could not repair. Flat bedded to nissan dealer. Nissan indicated that the front differential had failed, and nissan is the only source for this part. Car has been driven 70,000 miles. Drive train warranty 60,000. Cost of repair $3,800. Car has been regularly maintained. Car has only been driven on highways and local roads. It is absolutely ridiculous for a major drive train component to fail catastrophically on a vehicle that is driven gently and well cared for.

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.
