I went back to the Honda Dealer and specified I wanted the brake fluid flushed out and new fluid added. They agreed and it is done.

I happend to take a look at their service menu for the Accord V-6 and noticed impressive list of services at certain mileages. I found that "replacing" brake fluid, transmission fluid (atf,or antifreeze/coolant does not mean flush and refill. It means examine and top off. In a menu of "additional services" coolant system flush, brake fluid flush and atf flush services,etc. are offered at the customers option for an additional charge beyond the regular service interval check ups.

I will have to be pro-active in specifically requesting the "necessary" (im my opinion) additional services or potential expensive repair problems may lurk in the future. Many new car dealer customers howl and the high cost of dealer maintenance which I presume dealers have responded to by employing "maintenance light" or "eyeball and replace fluid" approaches. This is okay if you trade your car every three or 4 years (when the warrraty expires) but not okay if you hold a vehicle as I do. I will view the dealers "certified pre-owned warranty-dealer maintained" statement with a little more skepticism in the future.
