I think the only thing coded in the VIN is motor and build location.
You should already know what options you ordered, right?
Dealer should be able to provide the DORA, it would have the info.

I saved this for my 08. It should still be applicable. In brackets are a few codes I looked up.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Locator
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is a 17-digit alphanumeric code. The VIN is stamped on a metal tab riveted to the instrument panel, top upper left of the dash. The VIN number is also found on the vehicle certification (VC) label.
If the VIN plate requires replacement, authorized dealers must contact their respective regional office.
Item Description
1 World manufacturer identifier (WMI)
2 Restraint-type code
3 Line, series, body type
4 Engine code
5 Computer-generated VIN check digit
6 Model year code
7 Assembly plant code
8 Production sequence number

It depends on production scheduling and parts availability. Once your car is accepted into production, your dealer or Ford Customer Service (1-800-392-3673, Option 1-4-1) should be able to give you a build date.

I did just that. They said that there is no build date but there are no delays on the 2012's.

Here is the link (with your VIN Number you listed. Keep checking this link, eventually your window sticker will show once the car is actually being built. I used this same link (only with my car VIN at the end and I have both my window stickers now!!
