Everything in this 2010 Lexus IS 250 service and repair manual is tied to the car in your driveway: the 2.5L V6 (4GR-FSE), the drive layout it was built with and the trim on your window sticker, so the torque figures, clearances and service intervals you read are the ones Lexus published for this model year rather than values carried over from an adjacent one.

Known issues on the 2010 IS 250. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers visibility and the wipers: inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. The second and third both cover the frontal passenger-side air bag inflator module — in one, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants; in the other, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. Owners have filed 43 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 103 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether the job is a wiper system that has stopped working, an air bag inflator recall you want to read up on before the appointment, or a routine 2.5L service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2010 IS 250.
