I think we do know that it is a manufacturing problem:

They believe the problem is caused by a small amount of debris in the motor possibly introduced during manufacturing.
They have had success with several motors in house when they apply 12V between the motor lead and the case. This zaps the debris and you should be good to go. You might have try this with both leads depending on where the debris is.
I will try this on our 2 shorted motors tonight and post our results.

If you do execute the fix, the motors are fine. Our problem is, we opened them up before we read about the fix, now we are left to buy new ones or design around the motors.
