It would be hard to apply enough torque on a oil filter to snap the alloy casting, the mechanic woud have to have been a complete idiot and the oil filter installed would show signs of distortion.
Usually when you over tighten a oil filter, the hex head edges will easily round off.
All odds are that the dealer will blame the problem on the installed adapter and deny any kind of waranty service.
