toothed belt jumping/skipping

Translation of the sentence:
Due to a defective or improperly adjusted tension spring, a toothed belt jumps/skips a tooth.
Peer comment(s):

agree Marion Linssen : I also found the term slippage: One failure mode is gradual wear to the tooth shape, which may eventually lead to slippage over rounded teeth.

neutral Johannes Gleim : Auch dies ist kein substantiierter Vorschlag, sondern klingt nach einer automatischen Übersetzung. Dafür spricht schon die 'tension spring', die im Englischen als 'coil spring' bezeichnet wird.

agree Cilian O'Tuama : Agree with slipping/skipping/slippage, not so much with jumping, and any mention of 'a tooth' is overinterpretation IMHO. (Amusing expert objection above though :-) )

runs over; overruns

Due to a defective or incorrectly adjusted tension spring, a toothed belt runs over/overruns;
Peer comment(s):

disagree Cilian O'Tuama : any evidence of anything with 'run'?// Besides, 'overrunning' is used differently in a pulley context.

It runs over the teeth it's supposed to be connecting with, rather than interlocking with them.
