Default Lengthy crack on garage floor

Is it normal to have a very long crack across the garage floor of a newly-built home? At our walk-through inspection (on Aug. 13th), I asked the builder about this. He said this is a "superficial" crack, and that it is mentioned on our contract this may occur.

That contract is buried among the various paper piles right now, and I can't find it. I don't remember this being mentioned as a possibility when we signed the papers. Does anyone else remember this being mentioned to them?

The crack has been filled and is smooth. But it is unsightly and runs from the side wall across the front of the garage wall, before you walk into the house. Is this cause for concern, or just one of those things that can happen? I'm also concerned about what potential problems, if any, this could cause in the future.

Thanks,
Gail
