Have you tried clearing the modem cache ?
There are instructions elsewhere in the forum for clearing it via terminal.
Myself, I use the 'Modem Manager GUI' App to clear the cache with just a few 'clicks'.
open the app > click on sms messages, delete messages > click on 'actions' > click on quit ... DONE.
At one point back in my Brave Heart days I thought I had a modem problem, but since I started clearing the cache, I have not had any modem problems.
To answer your original question, YES, It is possible it could be a hardware problem in your case,
BUT ... I think it is more likely to be a software or firmware issue.
