I don't know, but it's worth whipping it out, lubricating the linkages and cleaning and lubricating the motor itself. Mine was starting to go dead slow, but I did the above and it's fine for now at least.

how and where abouts do you lubricate the motor?

You have to remove the seal below the window and then remove the cover underneath. Take the wiper arms off, unplug the motor and remove the whole assembly (it's pretty obvious what has to be unscrewed, etc) . It's a little fiddly to get the motor out through the gap but it's doable. Then just unscrew the motor cover and use a brush to clean the motor then spray some WD40 about. While you are at it lubricate all linkages and moving parts so they move relatively freely. I have no mechanical experience but it is something that anyone can have a go at.
