It's looks like the rear axle on my 2019 limited has a new part number. There is a visual difference in the shape of the adjustment snails.
I'm not sure of the swing arm changes (if any) but mine were replace as a set.

Maybe someone can look up the part numbers? I don't have 2020 parts books.

Yes, changed axle in 2020. You can read about it on the 2020 MY tech forum found in the appropriate section here at HTT. PN# 43000207

it says the axle nut torque has increased also. Anyone know what it is? I have been torquing the nut to 125 ftlbs for years to keep the axle from moving.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Don't know what I'm at now for final torque, I'll have to check but with the old (2019} axle we were at 150 and still had movement.
My situation may be unique given my past bad luck! But it doesn't hurt to keep a check on belt tension.

Bearings may be a related issue also, coming apart at 6000 miles. seems to me it's all related somehow?
Our service department is being more proactive trying to get this new bike sorted out.
