It has four wheels and possibly lots of legs....that's why the Mazda6 sedan is being recalled.
The automaker says it appears yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system, eventually blocking air from getting into the fuel tank and causing the tank to crack.
So far here have been 20 reported infestations, but it's unclear why the creatures like the vehicle.
Letters will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles beginning at the end of this month.
