RE: Anyone have an '09 VIN yet?
Bob Frederick posted something on that on RedLetterDodge
In a nutshell it seemed like each time people were reset back a status level and later put back to that status level it was because Chrysler needed to reschedule things.
Like the latest time when even Bob went back to D and then to D1 again they had changed shifts and/or canceled some overtime shift or what not so they needed to reschedule their build times for any car that wasn't already going down the line. Apparently the only way to 'reschedule' things is to knock every car back a status level and then put it back into the proper level. At least that's what I gathered from Bob's post.
So, basically anytime Chrysler realizes their current schedule is not going to work and they want to reschedule the builds they have to play the flip-flop game with the order status codes.
