Right wiper arm failure
Hello all!
My mistake if this has already been posted, but my 2010 Lexus IS250 right wiper arm just randomly cut off mid way wiping yesterday. No snow just rain and it died out, I always put the blade up and havent used it while layers of snow are ontop of the glass. However Im the second owner so maybe the first did? Anyways my question is, is there any cheap DIY way for me to do this or just go to a professional?
in the GTA if anyone knows any good shops. Thanks.

NEWS: Toyota is recalling certain 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 vehicles
NHTSA Campaign ID number: 13V030000 @ www.Safercar.Gov
FEBRUARY 2013 -- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 vehicles manufactured August 23, 2005, through October 5, 2011; 2010-2012 Lexus IS250C and IS350C vehicles manufactured April 10, 2009, through October 6, 2011; and 2008-2011 Lexus IS-F vehicles manufactured December 14, 2007, through July 10, 2011. The nuts that fasten the wiper arms may be insufficiently torqued such that if the wiper arms are restricted by an external load, such as a buildup of heavy snow, one or both of the wipers may become inoperative.Inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.Toyota will notify owners, and Lexus dealers will install new wiper arm nuts, free of charge. The recall will begin in late February 2013. . Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. 13V030000
