I'm not sure if this I've written this before, but afaik thats well and truley the case. Again, I think it's a case by case basis and you'll be lucky to get them replaced. Basically the only place on the internet where there is discussion about this issue in Australia in this thread. If you look at the US comparison, consumer reports and class action suite, there was a huge consumer response to the issue. Here, I think most drivers bear the grunt and it is simply easier for Honda to address the issue to the customer's driving habits. Regardless, the issue is prevalent. I'm only at the 9k mark, but I'll do my best to fight the issue if it arises. If sdewyz is correct, this is a whole different issue as Honda would be appearing to acknowledge the problem albeit under wraps.

That is some serious double logic though. Increased safety by more pad wear.
