It's probably gonna be fine 999/1000 times in the first year.
But that 1/1000 is bad enough for a safety recall. 1/1000 * 100,000 cars is 100 failed cars that could kill people in the first year. And then the car companies look at a car's life over 20-30 years, and they start to sweat, because that 100 failures can become 10,000 or more if things go badly. Hence we get our valve springs recalled.
But you? In a car you probably inspect often? Fuggetaboutit.
