Any unlocked pin that is a sliding fit (not a press fit) in a vibrating environment has a good chance of rotating even if it does this very slowly.
If that happens on a vertical pin ( up down ) it may/should stay in the hole by gravity. On a horizontal pin all bets are off. It can't move any farther in one direction but it sure can go the other way. Could take weeks.
