So the PHR is completely disconnected from the mounting bracket on the chassis? If so, I would be very careful driving. It may not be a heavy part, but the PHR is basically the only part that keeps your rear end centered between the wheel wells.
If you take a left hand turn to hard, you could push the rear end to the driver's side and get serious issues, foremost being possibly damaged tires and bent lower control arms.

This happened to me before. This was the older design BMR adjustable PHB. I heard some thumping noise when I went over speed bumps. The noise happened from the broken parts banged on each other when the car twisted. It took me a few months to find out that the PHB was broken. I replaced it as soon as I found out but still not sure what kind of damage had been done to my car though.

That's cool that they're replacing it for you. You should see if they made the bolt thicker or anything. Like everyone else said, you can drive it if you have to, you wont have any problems, but if you drive it for a long time eventually things will break.
