Ok, thanks.

One thing less to worry about.

Is that an assumption based on the safety call being from Toyota USA? The European and American cars are manufactured in the same factories in Japan so you should assume they suffer from the same problems.

Not that this particular issue is much of a problem as it applies to the torque settings of the nuts holding the wiper arms to their drive spindles. Specification says they should be tightened to 19 ft lbs and apparently they've found quite a few that were not, so any additional loading on the arms from clearing snow/ice could slacken the nuts further and stop the wipers functioning correctly. Simple to correct, just prise off the cover caps and torque the nuts to 19 ft lbs. I'll check the IS-F tomorrow just out of curiousity.

I must admit that I thought this too.

Nice little job to do this weekend I think (you're sure those cover caps come off easily in this cold weather? :) )
