Depends, really - they're very low volume and don't rely on JIT, but they are also totally dependent on external suppliers for the engines, transmissions, suspension system, engine management etc - all of which will be much more expensive. If they can stay afloat in a recession whilst also charging higher prices then they'll be ok.

So yes, I reckon they'll fold.
