Lexus has decided to perform preventive action in some units of its Is Cabrio and Is F , because of an insufficient tightening on a nut of felling arm of the windshield wiper.
In some lexus IS-C and IS-F with a steering wheel to the left it could happen that the nut that holds the windshield wiper arm was insufficiently tight. If the movement of the windshield wiper were restricted by an external load, such as the accumulation of snow on the windshield, the torque of the windshield wiper could overcome the torque of sliding arm of the wiper arm, and one or both windshield wiper could be inoperative.
To date, no accident has been recorded as a consequence of this situation. In Spain, 8,221 units of the Lexus is, Is Cabrio and IS F , manufactured as of June 2005.
Lexus will contact customers potentially affected by this problem in the shortest possible term. The realization of this check will entail an estimated time of 30 minutes and will be completely exempt from customers.
