Yeah - only 2200 miles on new vehicle owned for ten months. Battery posts may be too small and maybe they will replace battery. I'm not going to shim it - I'll let dealer decide - clamp looks correct, just read on forums battery posts (as opppsed to cable terminal) most likely is at fault, loose battery terminals common on cheaper Honda's.
