How to get build date on my Routan?

[vwroutan1]

I know it is a silly question. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to find the build date on my 2012 Routan. Thank you.

There are no silly questions, only silly answers, so, here's the silly answer : The build date can be found on the white label on the rear inside edge of the driver's door [just look down as you open the door].

It gives you the month and year of manufacture, but not the day. Mine, for example, says 11-08, so it's a 2009 model built in November of '08.

Sounds like yours is almost as new as they come! Congrats

Thank you!! So far enjoying the van except the small vibration in cold start.

If the Routan label is like the Chrysler/Dodge labels then there should also be a MDH field followed by a 6 digit code, this code is the two-digit Month, two-digit Day and two-digit Hour (in 24-hour format) that the vehicle was manufactured.

My Caravan label has the following information:
Date of MFG: 12-08
MDH: 121815
So my van was built on December 18, 2008 at 1500 hours (3 pm).
