Official summary

Lexus service campaign: see document search button for owner letter. Replace the vvt -i oil hose in certain my 2007-2008 vehicles equipped with v6 2gr-fe engine. The rubber portion of the oil supply hose for the vvt-i actuator may degrade over time. This condition may cause oil to leak from the vvt-i oil hose producing abnormal engine noise and the oil pressure light to illuminate. *pe

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
