Concern

In transmissions for replacement free gearwheels 6th gear were installed that do not meet the specifications.

Defect, as DVSA words it

In some cases the free gearwheels 6th gear that were installed do not meet the specifications. For this reason extended full load operation in 6th gear can cause increased wear of thegearshift forks. In the event of a fault the gear change is not performed correctly. this could lead to a dual engagement of two gears. A dual engagement can result in a blocked rear wheel and/or a shear off of the gear wheels depending on the speed and road friction coefficient.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

To check transmission number and if in affected range then the free gearwheel for 6th gear to be replaced.
