Fitment comes first here: this service and repair manual is written for the 2011 Lexus IS F exactly as Lexus built it, around the 5.0L V8 (2UR-GSE) and the trim listed below, so the clearances, torque figures and service intervals in it belong to this car rather than to an adjacent IS model year.

Known issues on the 2011 IS F. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the windshield wipers: inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. The second covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. Owners have filed two complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 84 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From inoperative wipers to work on the passenger-side air bag inflator module or scheduled maintenance on the 2UR-GSE V8, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2011 IS F.
