Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 2010 Lexus RX 350 service and repair manual is written to this model year, to its 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE), and to the driveline your vehicle actually left the line with, so the clearances, torque values and service intervals it gives are the ones Lexus specified for 2010 rather than figures carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2010 RX 350. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the accelerator pedal under vehicle speed control on certain 2010 RX 350 vehicles: a pedal stuck open may result in very high vehicle speeds and make the vehicle difficult to stop, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
