Updated Customer Order Number in VIN Checker

[Roamania]

I received a build email for week of 11/15. Ford's VIN tracker had stopped working for a while. But I clicked it a few days ago and now it's working again. Only this time, it is autopopulating the Customer Order Number with a different number.

The number is now 5168.

I'm wondering what this signifies? Any chance this new number is the ordinal one? Where Ford is incrementing sequentially? Does this mean this is the 5,168th customer vehicle made?

Any other folks who have a build date scheduled able to click the link and see what number gets populated here?

What was your order code originally? Should be on your DORA and shouldn’t have changed.

There seems to be a lot of "99ing" around here lately. Just in case you haven't heard, if you have a priority code of 99, that tells Ford your vehicle should not be considered for building. As far as I've heard here on the forum, only the dealer can change that and it should be any number 10-19.

Ah, you're right.

Do you know if when an order is submitted, the model, options, etc are a deciding factor as to what priority code is assigned? If an order has an option that is restricted due to availability, does Ford automatically assign the 99?

I'm only making a guess here, but I don't think so. I also don't think there's much difference between codes 10-19. I mean, I have a 2.7, Lux, MIC, and towing and got a 10. They need the parts, the allocation, and the reservation date so it hardly seems like a 10 vs a 19 would matter. Maybe it's a tiebreaker. I think only the MOD top is a definite 99 because it won't be available until MY23. Are there any other options you can order that are that far delayed?
