Spiders cause vehicle recall.....too funny to make up this one.

This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever read. I laughed for at least 20 minutes about it.

hhmm....how does an EVAP system work again?  :devil
Blockage of the line can prevent air from getting into the gas tank as the gasoline is used,

resulting in negative air pressure inside the tank. That can lead to a crack in the gas tank and the possibility of a fire.

I once found a spider nesting in the barrel of my 22 long rifle. My parents propane gas grill lit up because spider nested clogged the fresh air inlets. This happen.

This is not the first time this has been an issue.  mid 90's/early 2000's Nissans were bad about this issue.  They ended up making a 'service kit' to install a screen with smaller openings at the vent line.

but.....something blocking the vent tube can't possibly cause a problem.........nothing enters the fuel system through it, so how could it?

A blocked vent tube doesn't vent?
