Usually it is recommended to replace them at 90k miles. You should be ok at 70k, but it doesn't hurt to do an inspection (i.e. premature wear or leaks).

I got the timing belt and all the other belts done at 90K. I didn't have the water pump done and I am regreting it more and more. My water pump started liking at 120K and I now have 133K on the motor. Just wait until 90K and have all the belts and the water pump done at once.

Do honda/acura in the US recommend that the timing belt be changed at 90k?

I have had 11 hondas, (5 JDM and 6 UKDM) and everyone of them (in the handbook) recommended the timing belt be changes at 60k miles. In fact every car i ever owned recommended 60k, so thats mazdas, toyotas, nissans, and hondas. i wouldnt feel safe going past 60k on the one timing belt!

I think the interval is 90K for the first time.. and every 60K after that

that may be true in the Us but 60k is recommended for first time over here. i always do mine at 50k just to be safe, although i changed the last one at 18k!!! i was getting head work done so decided that seeing as the belt was off i may as well put a new one back on. i also done the water pump too, even though it was only done 18k ago too!
