WASHINGTON -- Mazda has some creepy crawly culprits in its new safety recall - spiders.

After discovering spider webs in the vents, the Japanese automaker is recalling more than 50,000 Mazda6 cars from the 2009-2010 model years in the United States and an additional 15,000 vehicles in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

The company said Thursday a spider could weave a web in a vent connected to the fuel tank system and clog up the tank's ventilation. Pressure on the fuel tank could lead to a crack, causing fuel leakage and the risk of a fire.

Death by spiderwebs. Not one you hear everyday.
 
I have always hated walking into them but this is weird. That's why, if I buy a car, it'll be a mini cooper. A good brit mobile rather than one of those rice burners.
 
That is so uncool.
 
This is why I support putting hordes of scorpions and wasps in Japanese car manufacturing plants... They'll take care of the spiders :mlight:
 
that's the funniest thing I've read all week. thanks.
