For those of you who aren't registered on the rotax owners site:



Rotax has issued a mandatory service bulletin (SB) on all 900 series engines.  The SB is mandatory and involves defective gears that can loose teeth and cause major problems.  Rotax has put a date for compliance of April 30, 2008.  Here is a link to the SB

I got lucky and my gearbox S/N is not one of the affected ones.  I suspect with the number of 912's on this list, some will be affected.  Remember, the S/N on the gearbox is the important one, not the engine.

This is what Bob had to say about it ...



It only effects the 912-S series.... unless you had your gear box 

rebuilt, then you need to check the serial no.'s on the gear set. Very few 

engines/gear boxes in Canada are effected.

If you did have your gear drive serviced and the gears replaced, check your 

work order.
