I've not heard anything about broken bolt bodies, but extraction and ejection parts do wear down and can break. The green plastic guide inside the carrier can break too.

From HendersonDefense in the AR15 high round count thread:
Quoted:
No.. I love AUG's. We just had a bolt cam pin fail and somehow the bolt fell out of the magazine well and the firing pin ended up wedged between the left-side port well cover and trigger pack. It took a bit of time to extract it but it was stuck there in pretty good. Other than that, the gas block on the barrel will fail before the barrel itself does. We've lost a firing pin there and there or a bolt but nothing like the AR platform. They last double to triple life of a AR/M4 bolt. They are great gun if you like bullpups and they just continue to run with little maintenance. V/R Ron |

A guy a shoot with bout 2 AUGs back in the 80's. He eventually shot the barrel out of his primary and had to replace it as it wouldn't group anymore. He estimated that the rifle had seen more than 20,000 rounds.
He mentioned that he had broken a couple of firing pins and a bolt sleeve, and that was about it. I did have a funny failure on my AUG. One of the barrel trunnion locking lugs broke off. Steyr replaced the trunnion and it shoot just fine.
