Japanese carmaker Mazda has announced it is recalling 65,000 cars in North and Central America because of concerns over spiders in the fuel system.

A Mazda spokesman said dealers had found 20 cases where webs of yellow sac spiders were found in a vent line, reports bbc.co.uk.

The company said this could increase pressure in the fuel tank, leading to possible cracks and a risk of fire.
