If your oxygen sensor stops working the fuel (gasoline) and air mixture will be incorrect. Usually this means your fuel efficiency will decrease -- that is, the engine will burn more gasoline than necessary. It's possible however, if it begins to run too lean (not enough gasoline for the amount of air) it can damage the engine. But, this is unlikely.
