It happened to me. Sometimes there was much less breaking force with no
apparent reason (no fading, no heating, no strange noises).
When I argued the 3rd time the brake pads were replaced with original
Honda - they should be Nissin (no Nissan!) - instead of no-name ones.
All was fine afterwards.

Hope this helps
