According to CNN, Mazda has informed federal officials that 42,000 Mazda6 sedans, from years 2010 through 2012, are being recalled due to a potential fire hazard that could result from little buggers making nests in the car's fuel system.
It seems a species known as the yellow sac spider is actually attracted to gasoline vapors (as if its name wasn't creepy enough), and likes to weave its web in the fuel tank hose, causing an air blockage that can lead to pressure cracks in the tank itself.
