Built around the 2006 Lexus IS 250 exactly as Lexus released it that year — the 2.5L V6 (4GR-FSE), in rear-drive or all-wheel-drive form — this service and repair manual is tied to a single model year, so the clearances, torque values and procedures you work to are the ones written for your car and not figures carried over from an adjacent IS.

Known issues on the 2006 IS 250. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three of them cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: in two campaigns an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, and in the third an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. A fourth covers the windshield wipers: inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. The fifth covers the accelerator pedal, which may temporarily become stuck in the partially depressed position due to inadequate clearance, a condition that may interfere with the pedal returning to the idle position. Owners have filed 252 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 90 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether the job is a stuck-pedal complaint, wipers that have stopped working or a scheduled service interval on the 4GR-FSE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2006 IS 250.
