Fitment comes first with the 2010 Lexus IS 350: this service and repair manual is written around the exact year, engine and trim you are working on, the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FSE) in Base trim, so the clearances, torque values and service intervals it gives are the ones Lexus published for this car rather than a close figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2010 IS 350. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the windshield wipers: inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Two more cover the frontal passenger-side air bag inflator module, where an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, and in the later campaign an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. The fourth covers the engine: loose bolts could cause the VVT gear housing and sprocket to separate. Owners have filed 11 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 83 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are diagnosing inoperative wipers, working on the VVT gear housing on the 2GR-FSE, or just meeting a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2010 IS 350.
