Default knocking noise when starting

I have a 2010 Grand Caravan.
About 1/2 the time that I start it, a loud knocking noise comes from the engine. This noise lasts about 20 seconds. I can't see anything knocking.

Hi miles44,

Have you had your vehicle diagnosed by a Dodge dealership to find out the cause. If you need any help making an appointment, please let me know.

Actually, I found out it was the recirculation actuator bar in the front dash that was making that noise.
