GPA tanked after failed class, but I already signed my intern conversion

I had an internship at Goldman AWM Dallas over the summer on one of their quantitative investing teams, received and signed the return offer, and am now currently in the onboarding phase for intern conversion. My GPA was about a 3.0 and my team knew this, as I have been very open about the grade deflation problems at my university (no curves, partial credit, 92+ for an A-). Just failed my first ever class and its going to tank my GPA. Is there a risk that my offer gets rescinded? If so, what can I do to help mitigate that risk?
