You probably have hardware that watches ECC flags. For a correctable one-bit flip, it triggers a read-and-then-write. For a two-bit flip, it might just kill and restart the process, or reset the whole machine. As long as it doesn't happen too often, it's fine: the whole system (constellation and ground nodes) are designed to accommodate such events.
