My 01 Accord EX coupe 5MT needed rear pads at 17k. 
Maybe that was a fluke. The CL should have very infrequent replacement of its rear pads since the fronts do about 70% of the work.

They must have just thighened the adjustment setting, but forgot to check to see if the rear brakes where dragging. Premature wear do to improper service.
I've bought a helms manual... and there's a new Acura dealer closer to home that I'm going to check out...

you're likely down to metal on metal. could you see if there was any meat left on the pads?
with only 40k miles, i would bet you have a sticky caliper and that one side is wasted.

My 01 is at 39K and when I got my oil changed the guy at the dealership said I need to get them replaced. I dont understand how it is possible for rear pads to go that bad in 5 months unless when I bought the car they didnt change them like they are supposed to.
