Appreciate your comments, guys. BigKev is right...I should have made it clear that it was the outside door handle.
The set screw was in place, although it is close to being stripped, as Greg suggests. It was in there securely enough to hold, but it seems like there is nothing on the shaft for the set screw to hold against and prevent the assembly from coming out. Maybe there was some sort of flange or raised area on the original shaft that is no longer there. I took the attached photo of it, and it does look like something has broken off. Take a look...what do you think?
