This service and repair manual was written around the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser specifically, so the clearances, torque values and service sequences in it are the ones Toyota published for the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) and the exact driveline your truck left the factory with, not figures approximated from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2010 FJ Cruiser. Nine recalls are on federal record for this vehicle. One is an exterior lighting recall, where light intensities above the maximum allowable limit could cause increased glare for oncoming traffic. A second covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module, where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system can be out of calibration. A third covers the front seat belt anchorage, where cracks can occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor. Three are labeling recalls: on one, an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires; the other two cover tire and rim labels that failed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, one noting that a driver may overload a vehicle which may increase the risk of a crash and the other that this does not meet the standard requirements. Another covers the tire pressure monitoring and regulating system, where failure to warn of tire deflations is a non-compliance with FMVSS 138 and could lead to tire failure. An equipment recall covers aftermarket seat covers, on which an improperly deployed airbag could result in serious injury. The last covers the front seat heater, whose copper strand heating element, if damaged, may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. There are 90 owner complaints on record for this vehicle and 90 technical service bulletins have been issued for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedure behind each of those systems is here.
From calibrating the occupant sensing system to a seat belt retractor inspection or a tire pressure warning that will not clear, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct factory specification for this 2010 FJ Cruiser.
