Fitment here is narrow on purpose: this service and repair manual covers the 2012 Lexus IS F as built with the 5.0L V8 (2UR-GSE), so the clearances, torque values and service intervals you work to are the ones Lexus specified for that engine in that year, not an approximation carried over from a neighboring model year.

Known issues on the 2012 IS F. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module on certain vehicles: an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. No owner complaints have been filed for the year, and Lexus has issued 82 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.
From the supplemental restraint system to a scheduled interval on the 2UR-GSE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2012 IS F.
