No, bgh aren't really a design flaw, it's a maintainance flaw. If you do not change out your coolant often, if you do not use HONDA COOLANT ONLY, if you do not replace your radiator after 80-90k. The systems can be damaged easy under these circumstances. Most people buy their cars used, and most shops, dont bother with honda coolant as well, they put regular stuff in like Prestone...which eats away at the honda headgaskets because they lack the proper silicone levels to protect them.
These radiators on most Hondas suck, half plastic, half metal/aluminum, they develop very very small cracks that lets air in.. the air travels to the headgasket forms a bubble, were it instantly heats up and eats ur gasket away.
