I can assume the high temperatures here do affect all the plastic parts, it can get up to 106 Fahrenheit (41 Celsius) and in the south even up to 114.8 Fahrenheit (46 Celsius) in peek summer (maybe a bit higher lol but I'm not sure it's crazy hot).

Filter pipe? You mean the intake? I have never heard of that cranking before. However, the chargepipe cracking is common on the N54/N55 engines. as
ferocity02 mentioned.
if its under warranty obviously your dealership will replace it. But if you plan on running your car hard in the future, just upgrade it to a more durable piece.
You aren't going to void your warranty for most things unless they can prove the upgraded chargepipe caused the issue, which is basically impossible.
