Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Jaguar XJ vehicles manufactured between July 28, 2009, and November 3, 2010. The recall involves 6,475 vehicles where the front wiper arms to spindle fixings were not torqued to specification during manufacturing.
As a result, the securing nuts could fail to perform as intended, leading to a loss of wiper arm synchronization and a clash of the wiper arms. If the wiper arms lose synchronization and clash, they could detach from the vehicle, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will ensure the wiper arms are fitted securely onto the spindle and the securing nuts will be tightened to the correct torque. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before December 13, 2010. Owners may contact Jaguar at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
