The early production 2004 had two "recalls." The relay for fuel pump and transmission was "flash" I believe where it interferred with the car engaging "P" properly. I have a 2004 but it was not part of recall for either.

As for those codes, have you done a forum search? I'm sure they're common codes.

Here are the Euro recalls for the LS430. I believe they are the same like for the US spec LS430 except the VIN aplication.

Actually, the whole 6speed transmission unit was completely replaced by Lexus.

446 is your EVAP system and 445 is the gas tank cap. I had the same problem (didn't pull codes but the VSC light was on and engine light was on) - turns out my wife didn't fully seat the gas cap after gassing up. Re-seated the gas cap and all was well.

It doesnt matter on a recall. Cpo / warranty or not.
Just call up nearest lex dealaership, tell them about possible recall issues on your car......give them your vin#. They have recall list.
