2011 Ford Taurus Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Ford Taurus documents the four-door sedan in Limited, SE, SEL and SHO trims, four in total, with either of two gasoline 3.5L DOHC V6 engines: a naturally aspirated version and a turbocharged version. The book carries procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for both, and because the turbocharged V6 carries hardware the naturally aspirated engine lacks, its items are documented separately rather than folded in.

Known issues on the 2011 Taurus. Four recalls are on the federal record for this model year. The power steering can lose its assist, leaving the driver with much heavier steering at low speed; the interior door handle return spring can unseat and let the door unlatch in a side impact; and an exterior lighting part on cars in listed states can corrode into a short circuit and a possible fire. Owners have submitted 187 complaints to NHTSA, the electrical system first, then the engine and steering. Steering diagnostics, door handle procedures and the wiring diagrams for the lighting and electrical systems are in the manual.
