Exactly. Radiocarbon dating is inaccurate for a very simple reason: we do not know how much Carbon-14 was produced in any one year. Since C-14 has a half-life of 5700 years, even a 2% error in our estimate of production can result in a big error in the computed date.

If it really, really matters, use dendrochronology.

Radiocarbon dating continues to be accurate, and calibratable, and you're the only thing that needs to be fixed.
