I'm no gearhead, but I'm pretty sure that if the metal in your car is not up to the tolerances the manufacturer thought it was, then it won't be a matter of your car breaking down, it'll be a matter of you dying in a crash you would otherwise have survived.
Correct. This has nothing to do with the mechanics of the vehicle, but the structural integrity of the body panels. Thankfully it doesn't seem to have affected the body frames themselves.
