In the case of my coach: There was no overheating that showed up at anytime. Engine was running completely within limits. Even after the O-ring failure, the only indication of failure was in the oil temperature. Absolutely no change in coolant temperature. All this leads me to believe the failure was due to a product defect that took some time to surface.

This can result in oil to coolant leaks. So how high did the temps go before you were able to shut it down? Ron Maribito probably has the most recent experience with overheating his 8v92 and would be a good person to consult.
