Apparently loose nuts are a big problem. So much so that Ram is recalling over 200,000 pickups over loose nuts.

Stellaris, the parent company of the Ram pickup brand, says that loose nuts on the windshield wiper arms may cause the wipers to function improperly. If the wiper fails to clean the windshield, then the driver's visibility could be reduced in certain weather conditions. Stellaris says there have been no known crashes or injuries due to loose nuts.
