Whether an XTAL fails on vibration or drop, depends on its inner construction, i.e. the suspension of the blank.
In Automotive application, we had different classes of XTALs, or package types, depending on the application, either Interior, or Powertrain.
Such failures could also be related to the connection of the component (also of other components), like SMD versus through-hole, or different realization of SMD connection techniques.
In the end, yes it makes sense to check the XTAL in such cases. I would expect a complete failure instead of a frequency shift, anyhow.
