If there's a crack across the whole belt on any tooth, it's time for a replacement.

Occasionally I've seen it where the belt is joined, that it will have a similar crack across the entire width (on the inside of the belt). You can sort of see the mark if you look at it carefully. But I'd be suspicious of the belt anyway with a crack in it. If it busts that tooth, it will break more also.

It might also pay to find out why the new belt has a crack like that. I put a brand new belt on a car with a different problem related to a tight top end. A hundred miles later, it had a similar crack in the belt, and it had jumped time.

It's unlikely that you have a similar problem, but out of the interest of potential expense vs. preventative expense, I'd get it replaced or replace it, whichever you usually do. Perhaps there's someone else who had a similar belt crack in the same manner.
