The 2009 Lexus IS F was built in a single trim around a single engine, and this service and repair manual is matched to that combination: the 5.0L V8 (2UR-GSE) as Lexus specified it for 2009, so the torque values and clearances you work to belong to this car rather than a standard IS or a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2009 IS F. 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 other three all concern the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module and were filed as separate campaigns. In two of them 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. One complaint has been filed for the year and Lexus has issued 57 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From inoperative wipers to the passenger-side air bag inflator module or a scheduled service on the 2UR-GSE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2009 IS F.
