Fixed lock actuator, but developed a stutter

I have a 2003 RAV that had the busted driver's door lock actuator issue. I fixed it with an actuator motor I purchased on eBay to drop into the OEM assembly and all was well for about 2 weeks. Since then, the lock mechanism has developed a bit of a stutter when unlocking. It does work other than the annoying sound.

Here's a video:



Any ideas on the cause? I'd really prefer to not have to take everything apart again unless I have an idea of what's wrong.
