Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2010 Crosstour.
Defined by its 5-speed automatic transmission and an engine requiring 4.5 quarts of 0W-20 API oil, the 2010 Honda Crosstour yields an EPA-estimated 18 city and 27 highway mpg for a 21 combined mpg. Powertrain issues lead this model year's 22 owner complaints and single recall, placing the 2010 Crosstour in the moderate tier of the nameplate's 2010–2015 reliability spectrum. Although its problem rate falls well short of the 48 complaints that plague the 2013 model, it remains significantly less reliable than the 2011 low of just two complaints, marking the 2010 as a somewhat troubled inaugural year for the model.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2010 Honda Crosstour recorded 22 complaints and 1 recall, placing it well below the 32–48 complaint volumes and 3–4 recall counts that characterized 2012 through 2015, though its complaint count exceeds the anomalous low of 2 seen in 2011. Its 35 technical service bulletins matched the 2012 level but remained below the generation peak of 59 reached in 2013, suggesting the 2010 model year preceded the broader escalation in service activity observed mid-generation. Within the arc of this generation, 2010 represents an early, relatively quiet position with the fewest recalls alongside 2011, while later years carried higher federal file activity. Owner reports for 2010 clustered in Power Train (5), Engine (3), Visibility (3), and Suspension (2), with one fire complaint and zero crash complaints; the data does not specify root causes for these filings. Given that its complaint and recall volumes sit at the lower end of the generation’s range, the 2010 Crosstour emerges as one of the more favorable years to buy from this run, contingent on a standard pre-purchase inspection.
