Gasoline-Loving Spiders Are Forcing Suzuki To Recall 



Spiders drawn to gasoline vapors are weaving webs that block a hose to vent those vapors have caused Suzuki Motor of America to recall about 19,000 Kizashi mid-size sedans from model years 2010 to 2013. Air flow blocked in the cars' evaporative system can cause negative pressure in the fuel tank, which can lead to cracks which could cause leaks that increase risk of a fire, said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Luckily, no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this issue, Suzuki told the NHTSA. The only remedy for this situation is a filter applied on the ventilation line to keep the spiders out for a brevity until they finalize a solution for the rest of their models. Suzuki stopped selling cars to the U.S. Market last year, after nearly three decades, so they are taking this matter very seriously to not ruin the Suzuki image in the States.

This situation is a bit funny in my opinion. The part about "spides" who love to weave webs to block out gasoline vapors is pretty hysterical. Thankfully not my or my parents have a Suzuki model from 2010 or 2013 but since accdients haven't happend I'm a bit curious on how information was revealed that spiders actually did this. Whether or not the information is factual, still questions pertain in "why" and "how?" Is it any  type of gasoline and what type of spiders emit these actions in the vincinity of such cars? Anyway, hopefully this incident gets taken care of quickly before things get out of hand.
