I wouldn't worry about it.

On most cars, rich running if the sensor fails in such a way that the computer thinks the engine is cold all of the time.

I will throw in my 2 cents - a dealer code read is a lot less expensive than an overheated engine because you had an issue and didn't deal with it. An android app, indy mechanic, or dealer - whatever you do, do something if you are getting warning lights.

My Lr3 and my wife's RR both stay very warm for a long time after they are driven but neither have any issues, they are just insulated very well.
