There was a recall around 2012-2013 for 2009 dodge ram 1500 pick up trucks because some pinion nuts could come loose. i had the recall performed as soon as i received the notice. the fix for this was to install a retainer that would not allow the nut to loosen. this week, 12/16/19, i went to replace my pinion seal as i noticed leaking at the shaft. i feel that the retainer that was used to hold the nut in place is defective and not a sufficient fix as the nut has definitely moved since the recall work was performed. there are most likely still trucks on the road where a dangerous condition is beginning to develop again. i noticed that the pinion nut had only one thread showing and took very little force to remove. as i did not know how to remove the retainer "holding" the nut in place, i used a hammer and a punch to try to spin it. the retainer and the nut moved with very little effort. there was only one thread on the shaft showing before i loosened it. i ...
I purchased my truck december 2018 from a private citizen, i recently ran a check for recalls and it informed me that none of the recalls associated with my 2005 ram 1500 have never been addressed. i would like information as to how i move forward in getting the recalls fixed.
I was traveling on roadway there was a loud bang, truck skidded to stop and would not move.truck had to be towed, appears the rear differential pinion shaft has snapped off. the truck is currently parked in a snow bank until i can evaluate what needs repaired/replaced. there have haven been numerous complaints and recalls on dodge differentials, i can assume due to the numerous complaints of the clutch pack retainer clips failing that they failed causing shock load to the ring and pinion gears and therefore snapping the pinion shaft and wedging pinion gear and ring gear. this truck only has 80,000 miles on it has never been abused, off roaded or done any heavy towing, had something like this happened at interstate speeds and or towing a trailer it would have been catastrophic.

2004 dodge ram 1500 date of mfr is 02 - 04 (february 2004), which falls in the recall on the pinion nut, nhsta recall 14v796000, chrysler recall p77, which states pinion nut may come loose due to undersize spline on the pinion gear. the date of manufacture for the recall falls between january 28, 2004 through august 3, 2005. the recall statement only states 2005 model years, yet the date range for the recall also include 2004 and 2006 model years. recently i have had the pinion nut on my truck come loose to the point the drive shaft fell off and the result of it also ended up a destroyed transfer case. unaware of the recall because i never received a recall due to the fact that the recall only included 2005 model years, when in fact 2004, 2005, and 2006 model years are effected by the recall and owners of all years should have received a recall notice but did not, due to the verbage of the recall. i was made aware of this recall through other means after the incident of the pinion nut coming loose on my truck several days later. the recall needs to ...
