Question Tansmission Sticker found

I was getting new exhaust installed today and was watching when I found this sticker on trans, anyone know what it means?

Its a lime green looking large sticker stuck to the side of the pan. I purchased this new off the lot and was curious if this is a Exchanged tranny or a model they were having problems with. Got me thinking after seeing this

2K, some trannys were tagged for quality control. It is an internal Ford program, where they want a percentage of trannys back IF they experience failures, so they can get them back and see what broke. The program lasts until the date on the sticker. It is nothing to be worried about, and it is the original trans, as none that have been installed after out of the factory will have that sticker on them.

Nomopar4me,
Thanks for the information. I was just wondering why the sticker was there. No problems with tranny at all but got me wondering.
