Can missing two oil changes cause piston rings to crack?

Question

Car is 4 cylinder Astra.  !.4 engine no turbo charge.  Last service 8500kms.  Missed 2 services, rings in number two piston failed at 44000kms.  Oil level always maintained.  Car only driven on sealed roads.  Would missing 2 services cause rings to fail?

Probably not but if you are looking to make a warranty claim and you did not follow the recommended service intervals, then they can probably deny the claim as there is some relation to engine oil changes and a problem with piston rings.
