Everything in this 2009 Lexus LX 570 service and repair manual is tied to this one model year, its 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) and the trim Lexus sold it in, so the torque values, clearances and service steps you work from are the ones written for this vehicle rather than approximations carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2009 LX 570. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger air bag inflator: over time the seat belt tension sensor wire harness may break 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. The second also covers the passenger side air bag: some vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect driver or front passenger air bag that 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 after being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat; a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are tracing a supplemental restraint fault, checking pedal and floor mat clearance or working through a scheduled service on the 3UR-FE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2009 LX 570.
