Fitment drives everything on this page: the service and repair manual is matched to the 2016 Lexus RC 350 as it was built, so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic trees you work from are the ones Lexus published for this exact year, engine and trim rather than figures carried over from an adjacent model year or a different RC variant.
Trims
- Base
- F Sport
Known issues on the 2016 RC 350. No recalls are on federal record for the 2016 RC 350. Owners have filed 2 complaints for the year, while Lexus has issued 76 technical service bulletins, so the documented service history for this year sits almost entirely in the bulletins rather than in recall campaigns. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems those bulletins touch are here.
Whether you are chasing a bulletin-level symptom, sorting out a Base versus F Sport difference, or working a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2016 RC 350.
THE CAR HAS BRAKES THAT ARE MAKING LOUD NOISE AND AFTER REPLACEMENT OF BRAKES AND ROTORS FROM THE DEALER THE CAR BRAKING IS QUESTIONABLE AND SUB-PAR COMPARED TO WHEN THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. I AM AFRAID THAT THE POOR BRAKES IS A PUBLIC CONCERN. THE CERRITOS LEXUS DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR HAS FLAWED BRAKES AND LEXUS CORPORATE AGREED BUT HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE BRAKING ABILITY AND HAS REDUCED THE USE OF THE VEHICLE.
