The plastic intakes commonly crack. That's what the whole legal issue was dealing with.
The aluminum ones only tend to crack if the thermostat housing is bolted on too tightly. I've heard of it happening, but it's not as common as the 96-00 plastic intakes cracking.
Yes it does happen, but 01-04 owners shouldn't lose sleep over it. It's about as common as your alt going out, or some other component.
