With a quick Google search I found a couple forums with the same question. This is the best answer I could find regarding this sticker.

Vehicles are tracked through DNA trace system body panel labels, window coding labels, and unique acid-etched glass codes.


Throughout your vehicle there will be microdots with a unique 'dna' like
code, this is linked to your vehicle. In the event of theft AND recovery of
your vehicle the police know to look for these microdots and can then
establish ownership.

Here is an aftermarket system of sorts http://www.datadotdealerservices.com...data-trace.php

And another made by the same people that make The Club.
