JB without knowing how wide a crack it is difficult to assess. Is it a hairline crack? Will it widen? I would suggest that you inform the warranty department that you are going to hire an expert. If the expert agrees it is a problem then you may want to file a small claim for the amount to repair and all expenses relating to this claim. You will need to secure a copy of the warranty agreement. Tell the warranty department if you are forced to file a small claim then you are going to ask the court that the warranty department provide at minimum a 10 year history of all warranty claims applying to concrete defects or claims by residents
