They are safe on the space station. They have all the time they need to sort it out. They can even wait for another craft to arrive.

With the space shuttle they observed an issue on launch, looked into it and decided the shuttle was ok to return, then it blew up. Not saying that's what will happen here, but has to have occurred to the astronauts that it's happened before.
