Gasoline-loving spiders prompt another Mazda recall

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014 Auto Subrogation

Mazda is once again recalling thousands of its Mazda6 sedans in the U.S. over spiders. The company announced 42,000 Mazda6 sedans from 2010-2012 equipped with 2.5-liter engines are being recalled because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system. The concern is when the Araneae weave a web in a vent hose, a crack in the cars’ fuel tanks could occur. In 2011, Mazda also recalled 52,000 Mazda6 sedans over the spiders, which are attracted to hydrocarbons in the fuel system.
