Mazda Recalls 65000 Cars. Spiders to Blame!

Spiders can cause recalls in cars? You're kidding right! Well actually we’re not.
Mazda, the Japanese automaker has had to recall over 50,000 Mazda6 cars from it's 2009-2010 model years in the US. In Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, it has had to recall over 15,000 cars for the same reason.

Why are spiders a problem?

Well according to the company, their presence could cause a risk of fire. A spider could weave a web in a vent connected to the fuel tank system, and this could clog up the tank’s ventilation. The build up of pressure, could cause a crack, which could eventually cause fuel leakage, and a risk of fire.

Mazda has said it is not aware of any injuries or fires caused by these creepy crawlies.

The recall involves vehicles built from April 2008 to February 2010.

If you have a Mazda6, don’t panic, it’s something that can be taken care of. You should have received notification about the problem by now. If you haven’t heard anything, call Mazda yourself on 800 222-5500.
