Yes. This sounds like it may be the end of the road for Curiosity.

If it was a small drill rig (water, soil testing) on planet earth it would have only lasted about 6 hours before something broke.

The local crew that services it must not be immediately available.

Curiosity was launched in November 2011 and landed in 2012. The 2 earlier missions, Spirit and Opportunity were launched in 2003 and lasted well beyond their planned operational lifespan. Opportunity is still functional.
