The FAA says UK-based AOG Technics sold bushings for GE Model CF6 engines without having FAA approval.

Jet engine maker CFM International said Wednesday thousands of engine components may have been sold with forged paperwork by AOG Technics, including a small number of parts for CF6 engines.

The CF6 is used mainly to power cargo planes, including the vast majority of Boeing (NYSE:BA) 767 freighters.

If unapproved CF6 bushings are found, the FAA said aircraft owners and operators should remove and quarantine parts.

General Electric did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
