Spiders the cause of a Mazda recall?

Saw the story this morning on a local news website. Thought maybe it was something about spiders somehow being introduced at the assembly line causing issues, but nope:
The company said Thursday a spider could weave a web in a vent connected to the fuel tank system and clog up the tank's ventilation. Pressure on the fuel tank could lead to a crack, causing fuel leakage and the risk of a fire.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. And spiders...
:facepalm:
 
Wow, I wouldn't ever think spiders could cause a mass recall by that... Bad engineering or perhaps something so ridiculous that it shouldn't even happen?
 
I'm not sure, but if spiders really were the cause there would have to be a ton of 'em all in one place.
