This seems like a common theme on the 14 XM. The block behind the two washers has been bored a little and they went to 2 washers. If you look at the contact patch behind the washers is like only 2-3mm. So its not getting a lot of contact.
On the 13XM the block was solid and they used a conical washer which made good contact. This must be a vendor thing for Doo as the 13 block says its unavailable. My dealer in Golden showed me this and they have sent the info to Doo.
Here is a pic of the block setup

Lost my axel bolt this weekend in Mcbride BC heading up the trail. Got lucky, could have easily ruined the whole weekend, but only lost a half day as the local sled shop was able to butter it up to get me through the weekend. Called my dealership where i purchased the machine and they say its not their baby. Gonna chat with Skidoo Canada tomorrow, they need to but out a recall or a bulletin before someone gets stranded or hurt.... 235Miles on my 154 when it happened.
Can u confirm on your 13 the block is solid and it has 1 conical washer ? Winterbrew from my understanding if you take even 1 washer out the bolt bottoms so if the washer was to slip into the bore it may bottom out. Not sure
It looks to me that BRP didn't put Loctite on the bolt. The older xp's had that yellow Loctite on them.
Anyone that had the rear skid out or changed back axle will remember this.
The bolt is the picture a few threads back looks to be clean and no Loctite.
My 2 cents
