No, but it does mean that if you draw 60A the meter will be operating outside its design limits, if it should go wrong i.e. catch fire then you will have a good case for a claim against the people who fitted a 60A fuse knowing the meter is only rated 40A.
No. It means your meter will get quite warm.
Its nothing to worry about probably, unless your running a cannabis factory, but might be worth a call to the people who send your bill to tell them your meter is likely 30 years old. They are meant to be changed more frequently than this. 10-20 years IIRC. They can get inaccurate with age.

That statement is wrong. Spark123 does not understand what the '40A max' means.
The 40A Max in the maximum current at which the meter was calibrated. Passing 60A instead of 40A will not make the meter get even very slightly warm because the losses in the meter are so low. It will not overheat and it will not catch fire.
