Suzuki Kizashi Bitten by Spider Recall
Add the Suzuki Kizashi to the list of vehicles being recalled due to spiders.
The Japanese automaker is recalling over 19,000 of its Kizashi sedans from the 2010-2013 model year stating that spider webs can clog a fuel vapor vent hose resulting in a cut of air flow. As a result, the gas tank can deform ultimately causing cracks, fuel leaks and even possible fires.
