2010 Honda Accord Service and Repair Manual
This 2010 Honda Accord factory service and repair manual is built around this exact year, engine and trim combination, so the specifications and procedures inside are the ones Honda published for the 2.4L L4 (K24Z3 and K24Z2) and 3.5L V6 (J35Z2 and J35Z3) engines that came in this Accord, rather than a figure carried over from a nearby model year.

Known issues on the 2010 Accord. Thirteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Most of them, eight in total, concern the front passenger frontal air bag inflator module: several warn that the inflator can rupture or explode, sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants, while others cover inflators that were installed incorrectly and may not deploy the air bag properly in a crash; a related recall covers the air bag control unit itself, which can corrode and fail to trigger the air bags at all. Separately, the automatic transmission control module can suffer a broken secondary shaft bearing race that leads to engine stall or, if debris lodges in the parking pawl, the vehicle rolling after the gear selector has been set to Park; a faulty engine wiring harness connector can cause intermittent spark firing or stalling; improperly tightened front damper bracket bolts and spindle nuts on V6 models can result in loss of steering; and an aftermarket nose mask sold for this model can interfere with the secondary hood latch and pop the hood open while driving. Owners have filed 580 complaints for the year, though no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're tracing an air bag inflator replacement, chasing an intermittent stall, or torquing a front suspension bolt back to spec, it keeps you on Honda's original procedure and the correct specification for this specific 2010 Accord.
