Known issues on the 2010 TSX. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and every one of them concerns the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: an inflator explosion that may send sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants, two separate inflator ruptures that may strike vehicle occupants with metal fragments and cause serious injury, and an incorrectly installed inflator that may not properly deploy the passenger frontal air bag. Owners have filed 86 complaints and 35 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems.
From a routine service interval to an air bag inflator replacement or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2010 TSX.
