Not sure of the year, I think 2018 or 19. Also, no idea how the wires on the new generator/starter were reversed. The white polarized plug can only be plugged in one way. This was definitely something I did not expect. I am sure the wire reversal was in the new generator/starter, as the original unit worked fine until there was a brush or bearing failure and the owner just replaced the whole unit. I never saw the instructions for the replacement unit, but he did say there were specific connections for clockwise versus counter clockwise rotation, so there may have been a note regarding these wires due to rotation.
