Honda Accord Crosstour Recalls

The Honda Accord Crosstour has 8 recalls spanning the 2010–2013 production run, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, with the most serious being a defect on 2010–2013 models where the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

All eight recalls center on the front passenger airbag inflator. The highest-severity issue covers all model years (2010–2013): the inflator can explode rather than deploy normally, scattering sharp metal fragments toward occupants. This same rupture risk is also documented across the 2010–2012 and 2010–2011 model years in separate filings, but the underlying danger is the same across the full production run.

Several recalls at the next severity tier address a different but related problem: the passenger airbag inflator may have been installed incorrectly, either at the factory or during a prior repair attempt at a dealership. On 2010–2012 models, an improperly seated inflator can cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash rather than protecting the occupant. The 2010 model year has an additional assembly concern where the airbag may not have been built to correct specifications, raising the risk of improper deployment, particularly for an unbelted child in the front passenger seat.
