Mazda Recalls Cars Due To Possible Spider Infestation

Posted by samzenpus on from the well-here's-your-problem dept.

ndogg writes "Mazda has decided to recall 52,000 Mazda6 cars due to spider infestations. Apparently it's because of 'a certain type of spider [the Yellow Sac spider]...may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction in the line.' This one certainly could not be blamed on the driver, but it's strange nonetheless."

    Don't you just hate it when you go to the doctor and he informs you, "Looks like you got an infestation of Yellow Sac spiders down here!"

    I can see it now... "Honest officer, I didn't mean to rev the engine and burn rubber through that red light. I looked down and realized I'm COVERED IN SPIDERS!!! AHHH!!!" (speeds off).
