It says 14,737 vehicles. This clearly does not apply to all vehicles since Ford has sold 150,000 SD's.

I think I missed the build date by just a few weeks. Is there a way to find the date it was built with the VIN?

For example, my window sticker has:
9-NORMAL, NB, 101208,AL30, 0000000434
My truck was built 12/8 (and I know for fact that it was built on that date). I believe there's also a build date (along with when you printed the sticker) in the bottom left of the sticker, just to the right of the Final Assembly Plant cell.

Must be just coincidence with yours as the number grouping in the upper left does not reflect the build date. While yours is 101208, if you start dropping in VIN's as you suggested you will see that others will have numbers that could not even be a date. In fact there is no build date info on the SD window stickers. The best you can do is take the other date you suggested from the cell to the right of Final Assembly Point, which is the invoice date, and add 7 days to give you the approximate build date...

I read that it was because a new operator at the manufacturer's facility of the PCB's "forgot" to clean the soldering machine FOUR SHIFTS IN A ROW!!!!!!!! This lead to a lot of dragging and balling up of solder and contaminants, which means some boards have the possibility of a solder bridge, that may cause a short between two traces.
