## Discrepancy

IAH - FLIGHT 2689, DURING CRUISE THE CREW REPORTED "SPOILER OPEN" AND "SPOILER FAIL" MESSAGES.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT INBOARD SPOILER PROXIMITY SWITCH, OPERATIONALLY TESTED WITH NO DEFECTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
