What's wrong?
The side curtain air bag in the 2025 Zeekr RT is built to drop from the roof rail during a side crash. It helps cover the side glass, including the rear side window, so occupants stay better protected inside the vehicle. The C-pillar trim is the interior panel near the rear roof pillar, next to that deployment path.
On the recalled RT, the side curtain air bag can catch on the C-pillar trim as it deploys. That snag stops the curtain from fully covering the rear side window. NHTSA campaign 25V066 ties that incomplete coverage to a greater risk of complete or partial occupant ejection in a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up only when the side curtain air bag deploys, so an owner is unlikely to notice a rattle, light, or other cue during normal driving.
Who's affected?
The listed components center on the left and right C-pillar trim, the interior panels beside the side curtain air bag.

What's the safety risk?
Improper air bag deployment raises the risk of ejection and injury during a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the repair soon and ask the dealer to confirm the C-Pillar chute modification before you treat the vehicle as repaired. Repair is free at any franchised Zeekr dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Zeekr RT is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Zeekr dealer to schedule the free C-Pillar chute modification, which clears the side curtain air bag path so it can fully deploy.
- Bring any recall notice Zeekr sent, and reference recall number 25V066 when you call.
- Call Zeekr customer service at 1-212-481-2050 with questions about the repair or your appointment.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Zeekr technician modifies the C-Pillar chutes so the trim does not catch the side curtain air bag during deployment. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Zeekr records show the affected vehicle was repaired on February 23, 2025. Zeekr has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for a related C-Pillar chute or side curtain air bag repair before the recall work, contact Zeekr customer service and ask how to submit documentation under that plan.
