Default Timing Belt Replacement?

Does the 1996 4 cylinder Accord LX have the type of timing belt design that if it fails it can cause major repair issues?

I recently bought a '94 Accord EX from the original owners and the timing belt/water pump had never been done. It had 134k miles! :noes: I got it done at Honda ASAP...pricey but worth the peace of mind. :hs:
