Apparently, the spider likes to go zoom zoom." Spider infestation leads to recall of 65,000 Mazdas

Spider infestation leads to recall of 65,000 Mazdas - Drive On: A conversation about the cars and trucks we drive - USATODAY.com

52,000 Mazda6 in the U.S. are being recalled because of possible spider webs. The fear is that they can lead to blockages that will eventually cause fuel tanks to leak.

The web may restrict the line and cause pressure problems in the fuel tank as the emission control system tries to purge vapors. The pressure could cause the fuel tank to eventually crack, resulting in spillage. Mazda has found 20 cases so far, says Jeremy Barnes. The problem involves the Yellow Sac spider, which lives predominately in the U.S. and apparently it doesn't like cold.

"Why it chose the Mazda6 over any other vehicle I'm not sure," Barnes told Drive On. " Apparently, the spider likes to go zoom zoom." The Mazda6 is built in Flat Rock, Mich., and the recall covers only the four-cylinder version.
