Ya that's probably it. Mine did the same thing. It was a cheap fix, but a little bit of a pita to get up there and get it off the steering column.
Mine did the same thing its only about $35 at the local parts store you will need the t25 tamper proof torx bit to remove it though if you dont want ti buy one get a center punch with a pointy tip and a hammer and hit the **** in the middle of the screw they will just snap off then u can use a regular torx bit thats how do it
