I could be wrong but from what I've gathered so far, there are no
broken wires or wear on the contacts in the jack itself. The only
problem is that the nut or threaded ring, that mounts the jack to the
chassis, has come loose. It just needs to be screwed back on and
tightened. It has been suggested that Loctite or some other similar
substance be added to the thread, to prevent this problem from
happening in the future.

I don't think Karen has said whether the plug is frequently inserted
and removed from the jack or not.
