Creepy crawlers lead to a recall of 65,000 cars. Mazda recently recalled over 50,000 Mazda6 cars from the 2009-2010 model years in the U.S. and 15,000 vehicles from Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The yellow sac spiders seem to be finding their way into the vehicles and creating little snug homes for themselves. The real issue occurs when the spiders weave a web in a vent connected to the fuel system, which can clog up the ventilation. The pressure can lead to a crack, causing a fuel leakage that will result in a fire. According to Mazda, there have not been any reports of fires, injuries, or crashes in correlation to the spiders. Moral of the story? If you have a Mazda6 car, turn that bad boy in or else...you might be having more passengers in your vehicle than you intended for.
