cam gear recall?
has anyone heard of this recall on the cam gears? i had brought my car into lexus for a oil change and said i heard a noise when i started my engine, so they took it and look it over. once they were done they told me the reason for the noise its because the cam gears are to small or something in those terms. i dont really care its all under warranty so i will be bringing it back when i get the chance. was just wondering if anyone else has had this done or heard of this problem?

^^ Wow, this is a MAJOR issue.
Aside from replacing the Gear assembly, Camshaft. It also requires replacement of the Cylinder Head Gasket.
Anybody who already underwent this fix should have asked the Lexus tech/service advisor whether they would/did resurface the cylinder heads???

Funny I have had this issue since i first got the car and thought it was a direct injection thing. Its like a clicking noise for about maybe 3-4 seconds right after I start the car and then it stops. I will mention this to my service advisor. I dont like the idea of my car starving for oil even for a second.

I have a 07 GS350. I just got a "Check System" light on this past Saturday. Then on Sunday when I turned my car on I heard the clattering noise when I started the car. I took my car in today and got a call back from the rep and he said that it was because of my cam gears were worn out. He said a few of the 07 GS' have this problem. Either way, they are going to replace it today under warranty.
