Consequence Summary:
Inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Corrective Summary:
Toyota will notify owners, and Lexus dealers will install new wiper arm nuts, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on April 4, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Recall Notes:
