What's wrong?
The passenger airbag and side curtain air bag on the 2025 Zeekr RT are supposed to control where a front passenger's head and neck move during a crash. The passenger airbag fills in front of the seat, while the curtain air bag drops along the side glass and A-pillar. Together, they help keep the head from striking hard interior areas and limit neck loading.
On the affected RT, the passenger seat travel allows a seating position that changes how the passenger moves in a front crash. In Zeekr's final verification test, the passenger dummy moved toward the right A-pillar, and the head reached an unintended area of the curtain air bag and passenger airbag. That produced neck-injury measurements above the legal limit for the crash test.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is in crash protection geometry, so an owner would not feel, hear, or see a symptom during normal driving.
Who's affected?
The affected component group is the passenger air bag and related seat assembly, so the RT name alone does not confirm inclusion.

A matching 2025 Zeekr RT does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Inadequate neck protection leaves occupants with less protection and increases the risk of injury. Until the repair is open, use the vehicle with care, confirm whether your VIN is included, and follow Zeekr's instructions for the seat rail stop. Repair will be free at any franchised Zeekr dealer once Zeekr opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Zeekr RT is included in this recall.
- Contact Zeekr customer service at 1-212-481-2050 for the current repair status before you plan a dealer visit.
- Ask about the free seat-rail stop repair that keeps the seat position from reducing neck protection in a crash.
- Bring the recall notice if Zeekr mailed one, and reference recall number 25V068 when you call.
What happens at the repair
Zeekr's filing says the affected 2025 RT was repaired on February 23, 2025. The repair is to install a stop in the seat rail so the seat position does not interfere with the air bag protection described in campaign 25V068. If Zeekr needs any follow-up work under the campaign, a Zeekr technician handles that repair, and parts and labor are covered by the recall once Zeekr makes the dealer step available.
