Honda only warrants alignment to 12,000 miles. I had some pulling thought about alignment but I think it was also my tyre pressure.

This happened to me when i put my winter tires on last year...i put about 10,000km on my winters the first year then put them on the second year and got a bad pull to the left, checked the alignment and it was fine, checked pressures; they were fine, had them rotated front to back and it went away..

apparently it's due to what they call "radial drift" i dunno, maybe there's a broken belt in the tire i have no idea, but i put my summers back on and the car is straight as an arrow now so it was the tire for sure

not sure if that's the problem in your case but that's my experience
