Possibly lack of sunlight.

When rubber trees don't get enough light they go into a winter-dormant mode and lose their leaves, and the stalk enlarges.

Give it -some- direct sunlight and it will come back, but watch out!

If you put a rubber tree in full all-day sunlight it could tripled in size (3' to 9') in 6-8 weeks.. they -love- sun.

You can tell if they are getting too much sun when the leaves turn bright red.

Rubber trees can be quite fragile. Sometimes something as small as being near a draft or vent can make it loose its leaves.

When it has a long trunk with no leaves you can air layer it to make it a better looking albeit smaller plant.
