Text: Genetti testified that one of his drivers called him on September 23, 1996, and reported that the truck had a sudden loss of power and that a white vapor had suddenly come out of the tailpipe. The driver had pulled to the side of the road immediately, and Genetti had instructed him to have the truck towed to the nearest General Motors dealership. The dealership where the truck was towed told Genetti that the problem was a complete engine failure due to bad pistons and valves and a cracked block. The record shows that the dealership found coolant leaking from the engine. The truck was repaired by disassembling the engine, replacing the block, and reassembling the engine with some new parts, some remanufactured parts, and some original parts.
