Description of the problem	At approx 1pm on jan 22nd i was driving north along a secondary road in my 2009 dodge ram 1500. I was traveling at approx 40 mph with my seatbelt on when i began to hear a whistling noise from the truck. As i slowed to figure out what it was, a loud bang was heard and the truck spun violently in a counterclockwise motion. As it did, the truck went airborne and crossed over the southbound side of the highway. It chromed off the bottom of some low hanging tree branches and came to a rest in the ditch to the right of the southbound side of the road. Initially i did not feel any pain but called for a tow truck. Shortly afterwards i began to have some significant pain in my left shoulder/neck and my right ribcage area. Fire and ems were dispatched and arrived approx 5-10 minutes later. I was taken to a local er, evaluated and released with cracked cartilage in my lower right ribcage area. The truck was towed to a local dodge dealer for evaluation. I was later informed that the rear pinion nut had come off causing the gear to come into contact with the driveshaft, locking up the left rear wheel. There was an apparent recall for similar trucks from july-sept 2009, however my truck was purchased in march 2009. Since the accident dodge has re-issued the recall to include my truck. I am writing this complaint to make sure that my truck is included in whatever analysis is done as a result of this defect.
