Fitment is what makes this one usable: the 2009 Lexus IS 250 service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim, so the clearances, torque values and procedures it gives for the 2.5L V6 (4GR-FSE) are the ones Lexus published for your car, not numbers carried over from an adjacent model year or a different drivetrain.

Known issues on the 2009 IS 250. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the wipers: inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. The remaining three all concern the frontal passenger-side air bag inflator module — two warn that an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, and the third that an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. Owners have filed 61 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 74 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From inoperative wipers to air bag system service or a routine maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 IS 250.
