Manufacturers usually don't add cost to themselves for no reason.

I had a 2007 Honda Fit and the heat shield fell off on the highway randomly

It's not essential but the tech basically said it's fine to operate, but don't park or drive on grass because it could catch fire.

Results may vary obviously based on car make and model
