It could be at a point of using large amounts of thrust that a failure might be more likely to occur, yes, however it would not be correct to say that a go around would cause it in isolation. Many have failed in cruise and climb as well, such as mid-Pacific United 777, and the infamous DC10 that caused hydraulic loss.
