There should be NO reason to flush your coolant at 12k miles. Most dealerships will do so at a 30kmi intervals, but American Honda doesnt even reccomend you do it that often.
Remove the resivour, rinse it out and put it back in. add some fresh coolant to the tank and keep an eye on it for more "sludge"

Bring it to the dealer and have them note that its like that
have THEM flush it
and down the line if there are issues. they will handle it.
