What does it mean when it says it can't retrieve the VIN? I was able to do it before, but the main difference now is that my MME is actually at the dealer.

Tracker is broken, Ford now wants an order # which its not built into the tracker. Why do you want to track a MME that was delivered anyway? You can still see it delivered via (with your order # and VIN)

I'm looking to retrieve the window sticker without going to the dealer, and this tool was the easiest way I knew how to do that.

Suddenly I get this message " Can't Retrieve This VIN " while I have been tracking my build for over a month. I have been told by my dealer that my build date is March 31. Does anyone know what is going on?

Welcome to the forum. Do a quick search, you'll find this has been covered a few times already.

It's basically going back and forth. Put your order number in and use the one at https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/

It's called poor web sight design.
JSON is not working for me at the moment, but all of the trackers are. Yesterday was a different story and tomorrow will be different yet again. Most of the time I have to jump through hoops to get the Ford web page to open. No rhyme or reason just consistently unreliable.
Patience is not only a virtue, but a necessity in this adventure.
Smoke your cigar and then return. It will probably work after a spell.

You will sometimes be required to enter your order #, found on window sticker(lower left "ITEM #" the four numbers after the hyphen) or from dealer

Yeah, they seem to be experimenting with it. If you look at the request return data, all of the JSON is still there, such as ETA end date, build date, dealership, name etc. (at shop.ford.com)

Hi guys,

I coded this tracker which pulls up build specs, photos, production status, ship/transit info, window sticker, etc. on your Mach-E :

Mach-E Order Tracker Tool [Enter VIN]

If you have your VIN, it will give you your options and more informations like status and dates.
@427CobraJet Thanks for the tracker that Ford seems to have broken by requiring the order number. See the Update 2 in my post here where I wrote a script that can extract the order number from the window sticker automatically by providing only the VIN to update your tool.

Hi CobraJet! I saw that you added the order number field on the tracker, which is great ! But it's only accepting numbers right now :(
In my case, there's letters in the order number.

Also, using that tracker (or at least, the text on it), it would seem the order number might even reach 5 characters. https://seg.fyi/mache-vin/#/details

Thanks
