Known issues on the 2010 Pilot. Ten recalls are on federal record for this model year, the majority tied to the passenger frontal air bag inflator: across several campaigns the inflator can explode or rupture and send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death, while related campaigns cover replacement inflators or air bags that were installed incorrectly and may not deploy properly in a crash. Separate recalls cover front seat belt webbing where incomplete or missing stitching can let the belt detach from its anchor in a crash, and a driver's airbag module missing one or more rivets, which can alter how the airbag performs during deployment. Owners have filed 111 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the front seat belt anchors, working on the airbag module, or handling routine service on the 3.5L V6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2010 Pilot.
