There are two elements the fit very close in most lenses, if those are the two that need replacing and the USM assembly drives one of the two, it's possible physical damage could have done that. Maybe something like a drop?  That is a stretch, but I now can see a possibility.

Anyway... sorry to hear about the incident. One thing to note, if it was due to physical damage, some home/rental policies cover that type of thing (accidental damage to cameras). However, you'll have to decide if it's worth filing a claim, IF they cover it, premiums will be at risk.
