NHTSA recall 25V-068: Zeekr RT airbag noncompliance with FMVSS 208 unbelted test

Zeekr Technology US recalled 1 vehicle (of 30 manufactured) after a final verification crash test revealed the passenger airbag and inflatable curtain failed to meet FMVSS 208 injury criteria for unbelted passengers in a 40 kph 30-degree right front impact. The remedy involves reducing passenger seat travel length from 300mm to 50mm via a physical stop. The remaining 29 vehicles were secured at the China manufacturing facility.
