Do you mean finish checking or a crack in the wood itself? On the first the finish more the going from cold to sudden warm creates checking than an absolute temperature. On the wood splitting more a moisture issue than a temperature?

So I don't have an absolute answer. Do you want to describe the circumstance? I mean car temperature in summer I might worry about glue giving way.

The above post is correct, finish checking occurs with sudden and extreme temperature changes and the wood will only crack if you keep it below 40 percent relative humidity for extended periods.
