    Soon? That depends. Honestly as soon as you can I would take it in and get it checked/fixed.

    It will probably 1st derate the engine, and if you keep going, and something drastic then gets worse and fails, yes!

    A engine derate is inevitable, being that the EGR cannot do a regen while you're driving. I'd recommend you to stop at a dealer and get that fixed ASAP.

    I agree. If you think it going to go it will if you think you can make it, you will not get it fixed
