thats why I asked, I figured that as well, if the washer was suspect for any reason it would be part of the AD.

Incidentally for simple random information totally unrelated to this case, I was disassembling some AS350 control rods today, and while cutting the lockwire, the nut started turning. the lockwasher design didn't stop the nut as it was just a place for the lockwire to terminate.
The "double locking" in this case did its job although the proper torque was not on the nut.
However, nothing further would have happened because the lockwire, torgue and locktabs, on the other end would have all had to fail too before bad things happened.
