Not necessarily. The (certification) specified period of time may have been exceeded. Or, there could have been existing undiscovered damage, FOD ingestion, a maintenance error, or TBO exceedance, just to name a few. That’s why we wait for the NTSB report.

VERY IMPORTANT: I am not speculating here, just replying to your post.
