Mine started creaking about 2 months ago at about 36k and mentioned it when I put mine in for the 40k service a short while ago. The service manager said they "saw" it and they thought it was the clutch return spring (!). Well, if that fixes it and since it's under warranty it doesn't cost me I don't mind (Nordic Honda are good and in my experience don't screw up your car when they work on it so not worried about them doing the work).
Didn't mention anything about reading about it on the forums as the last time I mentioned that (re getting my battery replaced because it was having trouble starting the car after standing overnight) I could see them getting defensive. Can see their point as a) they don't know what you have been reading from where and b) we are telling them their job.
Not done yet, will advise short and later (of course) long term results.
i have a service coming up soon. I'm not 100% sure if it is the master cylinder (esp because I have an updated model), does anybody have a bulletin or recall notice I can print out and show them?

Updated model does not solve this problem. Let the dealer diagnose it. You just show them the creak.

had it checked out, they said the clicking was due to the cruise control activation. If anything, it has gotten even worse now. Previously the click was more evident than the creak, but now its the other way around. When I'm changing gears I hear creaking, although I'm skeptical as to where it is coming from.
I have a squeaking drivers seat (which they would not fix as they said it squeaks only when the lumbar support is not used, and is not under warranty because it will not cause failure). I smell bs as dash rattles do not cause failure of components either. I think the only way to fix this is to replace the whole chair, and obviously they don't want to pay for it. So when I push clutch in, my back obviously presses against the seat for support and the creak may be due to this.
Alternatively, sometimes I feel the creak is coming from the shift linkage in the trasmission. When I go from 2nd -> 3rd, I can feel some resistance/creaking. Whether it's due to the plastic surrounds not sure.
Finally, it could of course be the clutch itself as has been discussed at length here.
Not too happy with the build quality. Always seems as one rattle goes, another comes to the fore.
I like someone else I read had the clutch clicking/creaking noise at around 36000km the first time. Honda replaced my clutch master cylinder under warranty, next service 50000km they replaced my clutch master cylinder again. To cut a long story short, I had my clutch master cylinder replaced under warranty 3 times. Each time it fixed the clicking noise and feel. Unfortunately it kept coming back. My Honda dealership said it was a known issue and they will continue to change it even after the car is out of warranty as it was reported and changed so many times under warranty. They tried lube etc but the only thing that fixed it each time was to replace the clutch master cylinder.
