Yes it could or the drive, as a default any 3 error in a 12 hour period will down a drive or freeze a tape. You need to look at what errors are being produced. There is no point in unfreezing the tape until you have found the reason for the problem.

logs and reports are your friends.

I suggest the logfile created in the bptm directory/folder
And the report "Media Logs"
There are many different causes for tapes to become frozen.
