I've never heard of that. Maybe it wasnt glued/sealed properly. If you can post up some pics of the motor. We might be able to better tell what happened.

When I put a new gear in my old firebird headlight motor, I didnt take too much time glueing it, a couple weeks ago the cover popped off and the motor stopped working. So I am betting the covers are just not getting sealed properly and they are coming off.
