Welcome!  I think the jury is still out on that question.

Has anyone that you know of reported that the spoiler addition improved tow vehicle mileage?

Everybody in Canada already had it done. They add the spoiler/lights from the late 2011 and forward pods, and lights to the fenders.

I have been reading for some time now, all the posts relating to tow vehicle mileage complaints and the various theories.  I read that in Canada the requirements were such that clearance lights were required and the lamps were on a spoiler.  The mileage discussion was relating to whether the spoiler would reduce camper drag.  The conclusions were, as far as I could tell, inconclusive.

Now, just yesterday I received a safety recall notice relating to the need to install clearance lights in order to meet Federal safety standards.  There is a reference to the spoiler but I can’t tell if that’s what will be added or not. 

I called the dealer and the representative could not tell me what will be done.  I am awaiting his call back after he checks with others.  Stay tuned.

I wonder if anyone else has had the recall work done and what it consists of.
