This came up on mylexus.com
Safety Recall DLG (D2G) Preliminary Notice - Certain 2006 to 2011 Model Year IS350, Certain 2010 to 2011 Model Year IS350C and Certain 2007 to 2011 Model Year GS350 Vehicles - 2GR-FSE Intake VVT Actuator Gear
At the present time, Lexus is currently preparing the remedy.
What is the Condition? The subject vehicles are equipped with a Variable-Valve Timing (VVT) system which controls the camshafts to provide optimal valve timing under certain driving conditions. The bolts used to secure the housing and sprocket of the intake-side VVT gear assembly could become loose due to abnormal impacts generated within the gear assembly immediately after a cold start-up. If this occurs, the VVT gear will not control the intake valves correctly. In certain cases, the VVT gear housing and sprocket could separate and result in an engine stall while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
When will the Remedy be Available: The remedy procedures will be provided to each dealership in the near future. At which time, Lexus will notify owners of covered vehicles by first class mail. Additional information will be posted on this site once the remedy is available.

You might want to call the dealer before heading down there to make sure they are ready to do the recall. Sometimes they are not ready (training, parts required available, etc.) right away. I've had a case where they told me to wait until I receive the notificaiton from corporate Lexus. Keeps from having to make multiple trips to the dealership.

Yep my mistake just read the first small part not whole article.
The engine is somewhat similar but I think there are a few variations between them. You should check your mylexus to see but I don't think you may get one.
