Everything in this 2011 Scion xB service and repair manual is tied to one build: the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) in the trim your car left the line with. Each clearance, torque figure and service interval is the one Scion specified for this model year rather than a value carried over from a neighboring one.

Known issues on the 2011 xB. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three concern the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: the first warns that an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death; the second covers cars whose driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators were already replaced under an earlier recall using inflators of the same design, and those inflators may explode; the third warns that an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. A fourth covers TRD brake kits sold as an optional accessory, whose brake hoses may fatigue and fail over time, and failure of a brake hose will reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash. A fifth covers the power window master switch, where grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts; if those contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire. The last covers vehicles sold with weight labels outside the allowable accuracy, since an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires, and an overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage. Owners have filed 61 complaints for the year and 56 technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From the air bag inflator modules to the power window master switch or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2011 xB.
