It could be the crystal but that's really rare. The first thing I'd check is the battery. If it's low the oscillator will stop working and it might be marginal so the lowest-activity crystal stops first - in your case perhaps the 40 meter crystal.

Appears to have been carefully assembled, and puts out a good signal on 80 and 20 meters, but 40 meters output is nonexistent. The band-switch is fine, so I suspect either the coupling capacitor before the crystal, or the crystal itself is bad. Just for my edification, would crystal failure be an expected result if someone transmits into the XG2? I'm trying to understand why only the one band would go dead.
