Finally moved to "in production" today! (ordered on March 31, 2016). Window sticker button does not yet work.

Not for me. When I use my Vin in that link it says access to this sticker is restricted.

Try it again, it seems all cars go into production on Wed's, and the window sticker does not work till the following day. Mine went into production on 5/18 and the window sticker link didnt work until the next day when i checked it at 10am. so i would try again after 12pm Thursday.

Not yet. I bet that, although my car is "in production" it has not yet reached the "build date" (which I have been told is May 31, but does not appear on COTUS). I guess the window sticker will appear at some point after the "build date"

Window stickers normally show up 1 week before build dates, my car went into production on 5/18, window sticker 5/19, build date on the sticker was 5/25, car was built 5/25.

Got the VIN for my 2017, and the wwwqa site isn't working for me.

It's that time - let's hope to hear more folk getting their VIN.

COTUS isn't working for 2017s, yet. To quote Mariel from Ford:

We are working on the timeline to roll out the 2017 model year vehicles for COTUS in order of earliest order bank open date. At this time, it is not yet available for 2017.

Anyone know how to get a "rail car number" or "ETTX" (other than going through my dealer)? My VIN is 1FATP8FF3G5331127

Thanks!

Maybe I don't fully understand, please help. When the order for the '17 is placed the dealer should be able to give me my "DORA" is this correct? The dealer is saying he doesn't have it, but when the time comes he'll be able to give me the VIN. I get the feeling that he is dragging his feet for some reason and hasn't ordered the car and that makes no sense to me.

I have seen mentioned before, some dealers don't Get DORA's. Mine was unable to get this for me. They did get my vin. My recommendation is do what I did. contact ford service to verify your build.

I got mine 2-3 weeks after I placed the order, which was the same time I got my vin.

Any idea what Segmentation Date means? That's the only status my dealer shared with me - no VIN, no other thing, just that Segmentation Date is set to 11th July.
