Default RXV Manufacturing Date Code

I recently purchased a refurbished 48v RXV that I was told was a 2015 model. It has a 2016 style body and was super clean, but I noticed afterward that it also had a Danaher controller which I understand was changed by EZ GO to Curtis beginning 2012.

The Textron serial number lookup failed to find my S/N, and I couldn't find any definitive way to decipher the Mfg Date Code on the front frame label. I sent the info to Textron Customer service and they confirmed that my cart was a 2010, not a 2015.

The last two digits of the RXV Mfg Date Code are the year. Just posting this here in hopes it may help others.

The dealer who sold you that is almost as reputable as the used car dealer with' buy here pay here'. What a cheat.

It is possible it was an ezgo rebuild based on the serial number that starts with a 5 but chances are it was a 2010 cart rebuilt with newer cosmetics.. Dealer should have known that..

I personally would be quite upset about the issue. I'd be holding the dealer's feet to the fire on this one. Cart should be what it is represented. I'd especially want the newer Curtis controller knowing of all the issues with the older ones. Does the paperwork given to you state it was a 2015 model?

Thanks for the helpful replies. This is my first cart and I only learned about the controller from all of the excellent info here on BGW. If I hadn't learned these things, I'd be blissfully happy like the day I purchased it...........sometimes ignorance is bliss

My phone app says it tops out at 24mph. That is with 20.6" tires. Should I be worried about the controller?

The final invoice does NOT state the year. The shop manager told me 2015 when I asked specifically for the model year. While very disappointing, the cart is super clean (CA cart) and looks and runs great, so I'll just make sure my friends and neighbors know about it. We're in a new neighborhood and there are 500 more homes and potential carts to be sold here.
