Could still run fine for a while without a hitch. Hard to say. May depend on the environment it was used in and how well it was treated. That notice may help in some localities for proving to a payor that it's time to act.

Consider it to be the equivalent of being told your American-made car has hit 100,000 miles. (Or that your Japanese-made car hit 300,000. Or that your new Chrysler has been driven off the dealership lot. Etc.)

It's time to start making arrangements and getting things in order for it, sure, but probably not time to call its family in to say final goodbyes.
