My dealer said it was cracking at the 50k service, but I told them to leave it so I could change it myself. I did change it myself, and I saw no significant cracking. Still, as a DIY item, it's easy and cheap, and it gives me peace of mind. If they did the idler pulley at the same time, you now shouldn't have to worry about anything there until at least 90k.
btw, when 90k does come around, it's really a 30-minute job if you have the right tools. Maybe 20 minutes the second time.
