It depends what kind of fault you mean. If the fault is an instance of
System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException then clients can trap this
and take appropriate action. See the
RabbitMQ.ServiceModel.Test.FaultTest class for an example.

If the link between the client and the broker breaks then clients will
need to re-establish the binding. While not an WCF implementation, the
Message Patterns library shows how reconnecting is possible:
