My car is being recalled because "A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line."

I know I should be upset about this or something but I am sure I will get a letter from the dealer soon and it will be fix. Plus if you are going to have your car recalled for something wouldn't you want it for something as weirdly cool as a spider liking something about your car so much that it builds a web in it?

I wonder how long it took them to figure it out.

They are only recalling 52,000 of them. Do you know if your car is one of those? This sounds like something Zach would have a field day with.

It looks like it. I have a 2010 Mazda6 4-cylinder, which is what they are saying is being recalled. I don't think Mazda6s sell that well, which is a shame because they are nice cars.

Best reason ever! (If there ever could be a good reason.)

What a crazy thing to have a car recall on.

I wonder what they are doing to make the vent line less appealing to this certain kind of spider. Or maybe I guess they'll just put a mesh filter over it. :P

Is it like a magic car hijaking spider?

Why would you be upset? Recalls are a GOOD thing. It means that the manufacturer has volunteered to fix a defect in your car. There are not involuntary recalls.
That's what so many of these lawsuits with Toyota and Honda have been about. They never, ever issue recalls without a giant lawsuit pointed at them.
