Description of the problem | I noticed oil in my driveway. However, i was unable to locate the source initially. The last incident i returned home from work. As i was about to leave, i noticed more oil on the ground. I started looking under my truck again. This time i found excessive amounts of oil on the rear driver side tire. I took my 2005 nissan titan to the repair shop. Upon completion of their inspection, i was given a copy of nissan's service bulletin reference #ntb10-032 2004 - 2008 titan, rear axle seal leaks. Their listed required action is to "install the new axle shaft assembly---which includes a new retainer, axle bearing, oil seal, bearing cage, and abs rotor---listed in the parts information table". Immediately below action is a note which states "do not replace the entire rear axle assembly for this incident, if it should occur". I contacted nhtsa who then referred me to nissan @ 800-647-7261. Once in contact with nissan, the representative asked for the last six numbers of the vin, placed me on hold, and after a few minutes she came back and referred me to my initial point of contact. This should be a recall, not just a service bulletin. It would be very tragic to hear of a fatality as a result of a faulty product. Reading the many reviews from titan owners it is evident the part is a defect and should be treated as such. |
