Fitment on this service and repair manual is fixed to the 2018 Lexus LS 500h in particular, down to the 3.5L V6 hybrid (8GR-FXS) and the drive layout your car left the line with, so every clearance, torque value and procedure sequence in it is the one Lexus published for this car rather than a figure carried over from an adjacent year of the LS line.

Known issues on the 2018 LS 500h. No recalls are on federal record for the 2018 LS 500h. Owners have filed no complaints for the year, and Lexus has issued no technical service bulletins against it. That leaves no known pattern failure to work backwards from: the OEM diagnostic and repair procedures in this manual are where any fault you do run into gets traced.
With a high-voltage hybrid drivetrain in the car, the value is having the correct 2018 LS 500h specification in front of you before the wrench moves, not after.
