A little yellow spider is responsible for the recall of 52,000 year-model 2009-2010 MAZDA6 sedans. According to the car maker, the yellow sac spider “may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line.” A restriction in the evaporative canister vent line could prevent air from getting into the gas tank, resulting in a crack in the gas tank that could cause a fire.
The high number of vehicle recalls over the past few years has highlighted something that many of us were ignoring, that cars aren’t built to last forever- and in the case of some models, no more than a few months. Not only has this been an important wake up call for car owners, who are now more likely to make regular checks, but for used car buyers too.
Used car owners are much less likely to register themselves with the manufacturer, meaning they will not receive the recall notices in the mail.
