Japanese car maker Suzuki has issued a recall on over 19,000 Kizashi sedans due to a spider infestation, Tech Times reported.  

The 2010 to 2013 Kizashi models, which were manufactured from October 2009 to July 2012, have spiders inside the engine's evaporative canister vent hoses. There is a danger that these arachnids might weave webs which could block the vents and prevent gasoline vapors from escaping the vehicle.

The problem could lead to a blocked airflow in the evaporative emissions system. This creates negative pressure inside the fuel tank which could lead to cracking. Once cracks in the tank appear, gasoline could leak which might lead to fire risks.

The company is currently in the process of notifying Kizashi owners about the problem, according to a press release by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency advised car owners to contact Suzuki immediately for more details about the recall.

Owners of the affected vehicles will get a free evaporative canister vent line replacement. These new canisters have filters to prevent spiders and other small objects from entering the vents.

If the recalled vents are discovered to contain spiders and webs, the fuel tank will also be replaced free of charge.

Suzuki stated that no reports of accidents, injuries or deaths have been filed due to the problem.

As odd as it may sound, the problem of spider infestation is not the first time a major car company recalled its vehicles.  

In April of this year, Mazda recalled more than 42,000 cars due to the same problem. According to the company, the yellow sac spiders are attracted to the fumes of the gasoline which causes them to stay inside the engine vents, NBC News reported.

The affected Mazda cars from the 2009 and 2010 model years were all manufactured from its plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. Mazda used this facility with Ford Motor Co. until August of 2012.
