Just wondering if there are any known brakes issues that are covered by TSB's with 2nd gen TSX'es? Our 2013 TSX with 33k miles has horrible vibrations from highway speeds under braking. I am guessing that is caused by warped rotors, cause otherwise the car is perfectly stable and tracks just fine.
If no TSB's exist, would are good rotors/brake for TSXs that are warped resistant, with low dust, and good braking power?

I appreciate any info.

It is unlikely that your rotors are warped. It is more likely that you have brake deposits on your rotors. Cleaning that off will solve that issue.

Actually warping a rotor is hard to do but when we talk about "warped rotors" we are really talking about deposits on the rotor. Dealers will be happy to replace your "warped" rotors.

Acura brake rotors are potato chips. Get yourself some Centrics from Tire Rack, they're cheap and better than OEM.

Isn't "brake deposits" just another term for "warped" rotors? I am trying to understand the difference? I am definitely not keen to pay dealer to do anything to my car's brakes unless they are able to do it free of charge. I guess I will look into some after market options.

Thanks for the heads up. that is exactly what I am planning to do. Any idea is spending more on some fancier Centrics from Tire Rack is a worthy investment, like the cryo-treated one?

No idea. My use is that the TSX is a commuter car (I have a fun car for enthusiastic driving) so I went cheap but effective.
