Description of the problem	While taking my 05 titan in for a service appointment (to replace a melted wiring harness from my tailpipe falling off, but that's another story/problem) i heard a soft whine. I reported it to the service manager. He called me back later in the day and told me that it was likely a bearing in the rear differential. He said he couldn't replace the bearing, that the differential was a complete assembly and had to be fully replaced at a cost of $2400. I asked him what he would do, and he said he'd keep driving it until the whine got too obnoxious. So i did not replace it. I picked the truck up on friday, 9/2/11. Two days later, while slowing down on a highway to make a turn, i heard a grating sound, followed by the truck locking up. When i got out, the drive shaft was laying on the ground. The differential had locked up. Had to be towed. I bought the truck to be able to deliver hay, which with my trailer is about 6,000 pounds. I deliver typically 6 loads a year, and it is about a 10 mile drive to my customer's home. Over 90% of my miles on the truck are highway miles, with the cruise on and in 2 wheel drive. I do not take it off road. I only use 4 wheel drive when we have snow on the ground (2 or 3 times a year). The truck is garaged at home and at work. There is no way the differential should be failing on a full size pickup truck under these conditions. I opened a case with nissan consumer affairs, and told them that i felt nissan should pay a substantial percentage of the repair even though the truck had 68,000 miles and the warranty ran out at 60,000 miles. They rejected my claim and paid nothing.

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.
