<p>As part of the recall, dealers will install a spring to prevent spiders such as the Yellow Sac from entering the vent line.<br /><br />The reason behind the recall is not an engine trouble, defective electronics etc but a gas loving spider, says a report.<br /><br />The spider is so addicted to the gasoline odour that it chooses to build its webs in car emission systems, the report said adding this has necessitated recall of thousands of Mazda cars in the United States this week.<br /><br />Mazda Motor Corp said on Thursday it was recalling 65,916 sedans because spiders can weave webs in the gas tank's vent pipe.
