Fitment here is deliberately narrow: this 2009 Lexus IS 350 service and repair manual is written around this model year and its 3.5L V6 (2GR-FSE), so the clearances, torque values and service intervals you work to are the ones Lexus published for your car, not numbers approximated from an adjacent year of the same nameplate.

Known issues on the 2009 IS 350. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three of them cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: in two, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants; in the third, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. A fourth covers the wipers, where inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. The fifth covers the engine, where loose bolts could cause the VVT gear housing and sprocket to separate. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 60 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether the job is a wiper system repair, a timing-side inspection on the 2GR-FSE or a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 IS 350.
