This is the second time this component has been replaced. Original component was replaced in June, 1999, at 18,000 miles. Vehicle is based in a dry climate and windshield wiper is rarely used. Failure occurs without warning. Failure of wiper motor compromises rearward visibility in inclement weather. Dealer advises premature failure of this component is common.
