It could I suppose, but that would be pretty unusual.
Maybe, I guess it would depend on exactly how the rectifier failed. The capacitor could be damaged by going way over voltage, but I can't figure out how that would affect FU9, maybe FU10 if the cap was shorted.
On thing you could try is to connect two 12V light bulbs (tail light?) in series, and test the PS that way. That would tell you if the PS operates correctly under load.
