I have been told there is a "cam rattle" on my daughters Lexus, is this costly?

What is your question?

The cam rattle is upon start but not always...Is there a recall from Lexus that you know of?

Or tensioner or VTC. Could also be old oil or low on oil with cheap jiffy lube filter. Had a 2009 accord 4Cyl. come in the other day with a complaint of rattle on start-up. Drained 1/2 quart of oil.................Hmmmm....last oil change over 10K miles ago.........LMAO!!!

A lot of cars will have that noise until the lifters pump up, usually worse in cold weather. only last a very few seconds. Would be a good idea to put oil treatment in to help with wear on fresh starts.
