Fragile

[Beshi]

Hello,

I'm not sure I understand what this status is. I think I had to make 4 or 5 runs with a fragile door and it still didn't break. I can fix it every time.

Does the fragile status increase the damage to the bodywork, or will it break permanently some day?

That state should mean that it takes more damage when its hit with something or affected by something compared to a door that does not have that.

Parts become fragile when they're at their lives end. they break more easily. You need to replace parts now and then; tires become bald, solar panels become unreliable etc.
It simulates wear and tear.

When you see the white x icon on something, means it's outlived it's expected life. At that point it takes extra damage and is more likely to suffer breaks such as flat tires, cracked glass.

Best option when pushing farther into the zone with that is to scrap it at home and recycle for better materials. You CAN do a run with all fragile stuff but you'll be burning a lot on repairs and maintenance. In the late game this can be a hard limit on how long you can stay.
