AUTOS CARS CUSTOM

The Problem: The IS’ front wiper arm nuts may not be sufficiently tight. If the nut is loose and the wipers are buried under a heavy load of snow, the wipers could not work.

The Fix: Toyota will replace the nuts and tighten them, in a repair that will take about 30 minutes to complete. The repair is free of charge, and Lexus will notify affected car owners with a letter. Customers can also call Lexus at 1-800-255-3987 or visit www.lexus.com/recall for more information.

Number of Vehicles Potentially Affected: 270,000 Lexus IS vehicles made between 2006 and 2012.
