As Einstein said: things should be made as simple as possible but no simpler.
as a generic summary to the question of the level of a finding of gages that are beyond their calibration period: It depends on the exact circumstances of the event and the state of mind & skill level of the auditor who makes the finding. It may range from an OFI to a Major to a revocation of registration.
But of more importance is that the question itself is irrelevant to the OP if they truly care about their QMS. It is a great question for those who audit and a useful question for those who need to write procedures and reaction plans concernign calibration. But taking the OP literally (including his choice of smilie) the real answer is: you know something is wrong; fix it! the severity of the finding has - or should have - no bearing on whether or not he fixes the immediate problem and the system that put him in that place. If the severity of the finding actually matters in whether or nto action is taken the OP has a far larger problem than the severity of the finding.
Of course, the answers given do provide useful context for immediate and long term corective actions to the discovery, but they did not answer his question as to teh severity of the finding...
