    No, there is no need.

    What you do depends on whether or not it is working and what abilities you have. If it is working and seems OK, not getting hot, not intermittent, then just clean it all very well and use it. If it is not working or is flaky then you need the board out and see why. The most likely reason is that the solder joint between the terminal and the PCB has gone tits up. You may be able to clean and resolder or you may have to pick up the track preferably by soldering directly onto the transistor leg. The track from the transistor to the terminal is pretty thin for the work it has to do anyway so adding a copper link to the terminal can't hurt as long as you are able to do that.
