By default, if a command run for a rule fails, make fails the rule and
exits.  If that's not happening, it's because the rule definitions in
the 'parent' makefile are throwing away or ignoring the status of the
recursive make calls.

So: fix your broken rules.  (If you want more details, you should show
what those rules currently look like.)
