Every torque value and clearance in this 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and drivetrain in front of you — the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) and the transfer-case or rear-drive layout your FJ was built with — so what you follow is the specification Toyota published for this build, not a number carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2013 FJ Cruiser. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers exterior lighting on certain 2007 through 2013 FJ Cruiser vehicles, where light intensities above the maximum allowable limit could cause increased glare for oncoming traffic. A second covers the front seat belt anchorage: the retractors for the front driver and passenger seat belts are mounted in the access door (rear door) panels, and cracks can occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor. The third, from Southeast Toyota, covers equipment labeling, where an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. Owners have filed 34 complaints against this model year and Toyota has issued 89 technical service bulletins for it.
Whether you are chasing an exterior lighting fault, inspecting the rear door panel around a lower belt retractor anchor, or working through the part-time transfer case, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and figures for this 2013 FJ Cruiser.
