I had the exact same problem, but at 30,000kms. They weren't going to
do it under warranty until I bitched to Honda. My concern is, is this
going to happen every 30,000kms? Pads should not wear out after
30,000kms! I asked my mechanic to find alternatives if Honda wasn't
going to cover it and he checked, but there are no aftermarket yet.
