I haven't been able to find any readily available recall info on the net. I
looked at honda.com and didn't see any obvious links to recall info. I am
going to register there and also call the original dealer.

The car has only 40,000 miles and I would be very disappointed if things
like the starter were breaking down already.
Thanks.

Sometimes, Honda discovers a unique or rare problem deemed
so unacceptable that if the car is brought to the dealer for
service and if the owner is original, then problem will be
repaired at no cost. One such problem, that took four hours
to replace a maybe $400 part, cost me nothing on an Accord
with 98,000 miles and 9.5 years old. Yes, that many miles,
that old, and I paid nothing.

No links will be provided on net. But get access to those
'proprietary service bulletins to learn even many trivial
things that might happen - and are never reported on web. If
Honda had identifies this as a unique and unacceptable
problem, only a dealer (assuming you took it there for service
and are the original owner) will tell you about the 'free'
correction.
