Fitment for this 2014 Lexus ES 350 service and repair manual is set by the exact year, engine and trim combination in front of you — the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE) — so the clearances, torque values and service intervals it gives are the ones Lexus published for the 2014 car rather than figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2014 ES 350. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers forward collision avoidance, crash imminent braking: on cars fitted with the optional Pre-Collision System, the PCS may unexpectedly activate and apply the brakes when the radar detects a steel joint or plate in the roadway as an object, and a vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 28 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 33 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are chasing a Pre-Collision System fault, verifying a torque figure on the 2GR-FE or working through a scheduled service, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the specification written for your 2014 ES 350.
