The cart manufactures all have IRS letters stating the amount of the credit. I think it would be difficult, but not impossible, for the IRS to rescind those letters.

I suspect that if this credit is extended beyond this year, they may tighten up the rules to eliminate golf carts, or vehicles that can be used for golf carts.

Also, for those that do not maintain their vehicles LSV status after the first year, there could be potential problems with the IRS if they ever find a way to monitor vehicle usage.
