Arachnophobes beware: Mazda is recalling 52,000 Mazda6 sedans for problem related to the eight-legged crawlers.

Apparently, a certain species of spider, the yellow sac, is attracted to the evaporative canister vent line. The problem is that these creatures will infest the vent and begin to spin webs, which will in turn block the necessary vapor from traveling through the line, possibly leading to leaks or stalling in the engine. Mazda plans to insert a spring into the vent to prevent spiders from nesting in there.

It's certainly a first to recall a car for a spider problem, but the Mazda6 isn't the only vehicle suffering from the issue. Honda issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) in 2009 for the same problem in 2008-2009 Accords. The TSB is a step down from a full recall because the issue won't effect vehicle performance in the Accord – although it may cause the "check engine" light to come on.

Hyundai similarly issued a TSB for the same vent line, saying that problems with it could be caused by debris or possibly spiders. Again, the Hyundai vehicles don't appear to have any serious ramifications like the Mazdas do.

Drivers who shop at New Jersey State Auto Auction will be able to choose from a wide range of vehicles, which is a good thing – because arachnophobes will probably want to steer clear of these vehicles.
