Yeah, you heard me, FUCKING SPIDERS!!! Mazda has confirmed 20 cases so far, in which a particular type of arachnid, the Yellow Sac spider, has been found forming webs in the car's evaporative canister vent line. For some reason, it's only this species of spider that are attracted to the Mazda's fuel lines. The webs gradually get thick enough to where they block the line, causing pressure problems in the fuel tank as it tries to purge vapors. Eventually, the tank may crack and cause gasoline to leak from the vehicle.
The recall involves a simple fix. The service centers at local Mazda dealerships will open up the evaporative canisters. Hopefully, their won't be any spiders inside. If there are, the canisters will be cleared of spiders and any webs. The dealership will then install a small spring which will prevent the spiders from crawling into the canisters and spinning their webs.
Until today, the issue had not led to any injuries or deaths as a result of an accident. As of the time of the writing, however, 23 people had died in various accidents related to the recall. When hearing of the recall on the morning news during morning commutes, drivers of Mazdas nationwide simultaneously did this:
