Default engine knock

k so just tonight i noticed something different on cold start up. A brief knock when starting up cold. I know there is a tsb for this but i was wondering how many of you IS350 owners have this problem.

So far it only happened twice out of many cold starts. Humm i guess i will have to wait longer and see if it gets worse. No sense bringing it in if it does not happen to them.
