Not necessarily. I'd only be concerned that these speakers are usually matched and replacing just one of a matched set might not deliver the best sound quality, especially if it is a different brand or model.
Much depends on how picky you are about the audio quality. In a moving vehicle the sound quality may not be all that significant anyway.
As to the failure, it could be due to several things; Water damage, electrical malfunction, loose solder joint, torn cone, manufacturer defect, etc. I'd not really expect the same damage to occur to the other speaker.

Thanks Joe, I will just purchase 1 ML speaker. I was going to buy the Vifa speaker, but it seems like it is discontinued, and the only speaker that is comparable to it is around $120 dollars, for that price I might as well get the ML speaker.

Here are two features attributed to the outside mirrors in the current 2012 brochure:
Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors
Power-adjustable outside mirrors with integrated turn indicators and defoggers
Each was considered standard under Active Safety. So, if you have a brochure for your vehicle I would look under that topic. If I had to guess I would say that yours are not heated, rather, they are electrochromic and will defog -- but are not heated per se.
