I guess it depends on how often you would consider it common. Most clarinets don't crack, but quite a few do no matter how much you try to prevent it. Some clarinets never crack even if abused.

First contact whoever you bought it from and see what they say. I know of someone who had a section of their Selmer bass clarinet replaced twice because of cracking. Most people prefer to just have it repaired. They might return you the cost of repairs (if you do it locally) or they might say you have to follow whatever they suggest if you want to use the warranty.
