Always a chance. I bought a used winch one time and the bull gear broke the first time I used it. Turns out some bonehead evidently had been using it to yank something by backing up and jerking against the winch. The key that locks the bull gear to the drum shaft had wallowed out the keyway in the bronze bull gear. When I use it, the key rolled over in the wallowed spot and split the bull gear.
I would pull the plug and try to rotate the gear by turning the shaft and look inside with a flash light. Or pull the end cover and the worm cover, pull the worm out, and get a good look.
