| Description of the problem | I placed my truck on a lift to inspect the underbody and change my oil. During the process, i saw liquid streaks down the inside of my left rear wheel hub and rotor. I had determined the rear axle seal was the leaking culprit, enabling axle fluid to drain onto the wheel hub and brake assembly. Although brake performance was noticeably degraded, the situation could have become far worse. The nissan dealership replaced the seal assembly, but i am not confident this will correct the issue. Numerous incidents similar to this nature have been reported on nissan titan auto clubs, such as www. Titantalk. Com/forums. The dealership already had a technical service bulletin (with a third revision date over 3 years being out in service) - this tells me that nissan knows there is a problem with the axle, but will not recall the vehicles and fix them properly. |
