Only if it's due to a manufacturing defect. If it cracks because someone drops it or puts something on it (etc...), then no that won't be covered. If it cracks all on its own and they agree that's what happened (!!!), then yes it would be covered.
If you have a cracked screen you are screwed, they will not cover it. I doubt they would cover it even if the screen was defective, because how could you prove it. They would automatically assumed you dropped it or set something on top of it.
Best thing to do is make darn sure you protect it as best you can.
