It wont cause any problems other than less mpg and maybe a worse idle or slight drivability issues.

If left alone it can cause your O2 sensors to go bad especially the rear one that bolts in the cat.

I recommend getting a new oem unit asap when you can afford it.

I got the same code. It was not the cat or the o2 sensor. You should try cleaning the egr first then see if code clears.
