The "recovery needed" message is there when you do not unmount the
file-system before reboot. The recovery is done automatically, and if it
mounts, it should be all-right.

I do not think your system dies because of UBIFS recovery. UBIFS is
SMP-safe and was hevily tested in multicore systems. This is some kind
of coincidence.

Run mtd tests to start with.
