Thanks for the great pictures.  It stands to reason that the foil will have some, even if minimal, effect on moving air away from the back of the trailer in order to reduce drag.  At least I hope I am right!  Some contributors to this have concluded otherwise.  We'll see.  I am still waiting for my parts to arrive at my home so I can take them to the dealer for installation.

ere is a picture of the light barand fender lights  installed as a recall by Crisp Rv in Chocowinity, NC.
They did a fine job.  The wire for the light runs down the right side of the back of the pod
under the rubber molding to the right rear running light.  A hole is drilled into the outer layer of the body and connected to the running light.  They said it takes about 3 hours to complete.  They have done 5 pods so far.

We contacted FR through the email addresses provided on their facebook page and got an email reply and the recall letter as an attachment. It seems that they are quick to respond via email.  Now we just have to wait for our local guy to get back to us as to when they can get the kits in.

Also while I'm thinking about it - not sure how they could call the letter an official recall notice as Mine was NOT dated and they sent it to the Address that Forest River had on record not the official address that the R-pod is registered to in the state of PA.  Wonder how many letters they will get back as people have moved or sold the units.

My dealer is waiting to order a bunch before they start (they are working off a list of the units they sold) They said the Parts department would call me when the parts came in and then I needed to call the service department to schedule.  I would think they would have had the service department call me directly to avoid extra work.  Just shacking my head....

I am guessing first come first served. When the stock runs out it goes on back order. In Canada it took 3 weeks for the dealer to get my kit in.

Does FR determine which dealer gets the recall kit before others?  Some forum members are talking about their dealer(s) getting the kit after just two weeks.  My dealer told me that FR told him that it might be one to two months before kits are shipped out to him.
