Sorry to bump the old thread.. however I just took my car in for the same issue ..
According to the service rep noise is coming from the camshaft... hope it gets fixed!!

Of course I started getting this problem after my powertrain warranty had lapsed. So does anyone know exactly what the problem is and what the corrective action is? I wonder how much it would cost to fix without warranty...

I'd like to know this too. Noise began at 75k.

If you got your recall work done, you should have received an extended warranty for your powertrain (100,000 mi?).
This should be covered under that shouldnt it??
Hope you guys get this resolved. They redid my camshafts when they had the engine apart to do the recall. Havent heard the noise since that.
Somewhat maddening that this happened at all. Good luck guys.

Just got my car back from the dealer.. let me look into my invoice and see what work/part was changed/performed... FYI, I got the work done through the warranty so I won't know the cost.. Good luck!!

If you peeped through the invoice the one you signed but couldn't keep, you would see how much they billed Lexus.
