Mazda recalls 65,000 Cars
Mazda Motor Corp. has an itsy-bitsy problem, and it really is recalling 65,000 cars to fix it.
Mazda identified the culprit as the yellow sac spider, or Cheiracanthium inclusum. The pale, mildly venomous creatures lay their eggs in silk-wrapped bunches — usually in vegetation.
Spider nests in tiny rubber hoses connected to fuel tank techniques could trigger pressurization and ventilation issues in certain cars.
Right after dealers around the nation found 20 circumstances from the arachnid infestation, the company pulled back 65,000 Mazda6 cars from the 2009 and 2010 product years from the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
To repair the problem, dealers will examine and clean the canister vent line in the recalled vehicles. A spring will likely be set up to stop this spider from entering the line.
The recall notices will go out later this month. Owners of Mazda6s can contact the company immediately at 1-800-222-5500.
