Strange thing to have a recall over...

Mazda is recalling about 52,000 Mazda6 sedans in the U.S., because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system.

It's the EVAP vent tube, or fuel tank vent tube if I heard correctly over the radio. Sort of a no brainer, since it's under the car, but they have had 2 fuel tanks crack due to the webs blocking the vent thus building too much pressure in the tank. I think, I'm sure some know it all will tear me apart on this, but thats the gist of it.
