Fitment is the whole point of this one: the service and repair manual is tied to the 2011 Lexus LS 460 in particular, so the clearances, torque sequences and service data you work from are what Lexus published for this year's 4.6L V8 (1UR-FSE) and for the driveline your car actually left the line with, not a figure borrowed from an adjacent model year.
Engines
- 4.6L V8 GAS Naturally Aspirated

ABS Modulator has failed on mine and thousands of owners across the US & the World. Toyota/Lexus knows about this and has issued TSIB's for several models including the LS460 from 2007-2017 up to a certain mileage. My vehicle has too many miles to be included in this, but the safety of my vehicle is in serious risk due to a problem that they have known about for many years, but have failed to do a recall on all of these vehicles. The repair costs on average $2,000 to $4,000.00.

The steering has a "sticking" characteristic on the highway, making it unsafe to drive due to minor adjustments over center causing the steering rack to temporarily "lock up", then dart left or right when more force is applied. Owner contacted Lexus Corporate about this issue, but they were uncooperative.
