Known issues on the 2010 Civic. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year, and every one traces back to the passenger frontal air bag inflator. Several were issued because the inflator can rupture or explode from degraded propellant, sending sharp metal fragments into the cabin and risking serious injury or death; the rest cover replacement inflators that were installed incorrectly, which can keep the air bag from deploying properly in a crash and raise the risk of injury. Owners have filed 396 complaints for the year, and Honda has issued 0 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you're pulling the dash to inspect a passenger air bag inflator or working through routine service on the 1.8L, hybrid, or Si drivetrain, it keeps you on Honda's own spec for your specific 2010 Civic.
