Looks like it's a voluntary recall but it's world-wide, not only in california. Check these news

My friend from Taiwan said the recall include Taiwan's 2004 LS430, also.
However my car died on freeway before I heard the news, because LA's news did not say anything about this recall. And my dealer did not mention anything about recall after they fix my car, they just said "we replace your fuel pump and UPGRADE your transmission".

I received a call today from my dealer and my 2004 is being requested to visit the dealership for a replacement transmission and fuel pump. I have had no problems just a call out of the blue that they are being replaced. Lexus is giving a $200 gas card for the trouble.
My car is rarely driven and has 2000 miles, I sure hate to have a major repair.
Can't complain about the service but hated the call.
I suggest you visit your dealer as soon as you can.
My 2004 Ls430 just died on the freeway last month, turn out fuel pump must be replaced. I guess the "fuel pump" just stop "pump" "fuel" out, therefore the car just stop running suddenly. My car is rarely driven, also. Now it has 2500 miles since I bought it on Dec. last year.
It's very danger the car just died while you are driving on the freeway. I think I am very lucky did not have car accident when it happened.
check these reports:

My dealer insist there is no RECALL, just my car's fuel pump and transmission needs "UPGRADE".

Everything include replacing transmission and fuel pump are all free of charge . But it's a new car, I am very unhappy even they did not charge me.
