2008 Lexus LX 570 Service and Repair Manual

Every figure in this 2008 Lexus LX 570 service and repair manual is tied to the truck as it was built — the 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) and the trim it left the assembly line with — so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic trees you work from are the ones Lexus published for this year rather than numbers carried over from an adjacent one.

Known issues on the 2008 LX 570. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them concern the air bag system. In the first, the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break over time and deactivate the front passenger air bag, the knee air bag and the passenger seat-mounted side air bag, and deactivated air bags can increase the risk of injury in a crash. In the second, the vehicle may be equipped with an incorrect driver or front passenger air bag, so it fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection"; an incorrect air bag may not deploy as intended in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. The third covers the accelerator pedal, which can get stuck in the wide open position when it is trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat, and a stuck open pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make the vehicle difficult to stop, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 43 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From checking the seat belt tension sensor wire harness to a pedal and floor mat inspection or a scheduled service on the 5.7L V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the specification written for this 2008 LX 570.
