Spiders Cause Mazda to Recall 65,000 Cars

Mazda has issued a recall of 65,000 cars after discovering spider webs in the vents.  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.

The 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 vehicles are equipped with V4 engines and were built from April 2008 to February 2010.

Dealers have identified 20 cases in which spider webs were found in the vents.
