Description of the problem	While traveling down a 2 lane paved road at approx. 55 mph, a humming sound could be heard from under the vehicle upon releasing the accelerator. The hum increased in intensity very quickly, resulting in a large bang and near loss of control less than 1 minute after first hearing the sound. I would later learn that the rear-axle pinion nut had detached, resulting in the rear wheels locking and having the side-effect of dropping the driveshaft onto the ground. I had just gotten off of the highway a few minutes before, and if this had happened 1 minute sooner or 1 minute later, i would have most certainly lost control at higher speeds and other vehicles would have been involved, or in the case of happening 1 minute later i would have re-entered a dense high-speed traffic area and the chances of involving other vehicles would have risen significantly. Fortunately, for that brief stretch of road, i was the only vehicle within a few hundred yards, granting me the ability to regain control and get off the road at a safe turn-off, that happened to be the only turn-off in the area. To sum up my experiences, if this event had occurred at any other location during my commute, it would have turned out much worse, and it just so happened that this was the perfect spot as i did not hit any other vehicles and was able to pull off the road safely. It turns out that there is a recall for this exact component, but i had not been informed by mail or by my local dealer when i asked them about any open recalls barely a month before when periodic maintenance was performed. They did not show anything in their system and my vehicle remained 'officially roadworthy' until this incident. This is distressing, as my wife could have been driving or i could have had passengers.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
