Every specification, clearance and torque sequence in this service and repair manual is written for the 2010 Lexus IS 350C in its Base trim, so the number you tighten to or measure against is the one Lexus published for this model year rather than a close-enough value carried over from an adjacent one.

Known issues on the 2010 IS 350C. 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 cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module — in the first, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants; in the second, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. The fourth is an engine recall: loose bolts could cause the VVT gear housing and sprocket to separate. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 73 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Wipers, air bag inflator, VVT gear housing or a routine service interval — it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2010 IS 350C.
