Yes. Brake linings and clutches are solid and the chrysotile fibers are locked in a
plastic matrix. See also response to 19. GM objects to the rest of this interrogatory because
it is vague, ambiguous, overly broad, burdensome, and is not reasonably calculated to lead to
the discovery of admissible evidence.

Brake linings and clutches wear out and it is expected that they will be replaced.
