Defect
An incorrect plastic joint was assembled between the speedometer gearbox and the drive sprocket. Continued use causes the joint's inner surface to wear prematurely, preventing rotation from the drive sprocket from being transmitted to the speedometer. In the worst case, the speedometer ceases to function correctly.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the entire gearbox assembly with a unit fitted with the correct joint.
