What's wrong?
The front passenger airbag in the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is part of the supplemental restraint system. In a crash, sensors command the airbag module to inflate from the dashboard so it can help cushion the passenger. The system depends on the airbag being assembled to the correct Honda specification before it is installed.
In recall 10V402, Honda says the front passenger airbag was not assembled according to the correct specifications. That points to a build problem inside the airbag module itself, not normal wear from driving. When an airbag assembly does not match its specification, the concern is that it does not perform the way the restraint system was designed to perform when the passenger needs it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is inside the airbag assembly, so an owner should not expect a noise, smell, dashboard light, or change in how the vehicle drives.

What's the safety risk?
In a crash, the front passenger airbag can fail to deploy as intended. That raises injury risk for an unbelted child seated in the front passenger seat if the airbag deploys. Until the inspection is complete, keep children properly restrained in the rear seat. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Honda dealer and ask about the free front passenger airbag inspection and replacement for your VIN.
- Bring the recall notice if Honda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V402 when you call.
- Keep children out of the front passenger seat until the dealer confirms the airbag module meets specification or replaces it.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the front passenger airbag module to confirm whether it was assembled to the correct specifications. If the inspection shows the module needs replacement, the technician replaces the passenger airbag module. The source remedy states that inspection and replacement are free of charge. With no separate remedy status supplied, the dealer repair should be treated as the known repair path, with parts and labor covered once the campaign is open for service.
