Are there any reported manufacturing o r QC issues related to body panel fitting o r paint thickness on the Changan Kalam in Pakistan?

Have there been any patterns in factory faults like uneven gaps, thin paint, o r weak panel alignment that make the Kalam more prone to damage?

Some owners have noticed minor factory-level flaws, such as:

Uneven door panel gaps

Loose bumper alignment

Paint inconsistencies around edges, door handles, o r bonnet joints

Thin paint layer, particularly on the roof and rear quarter panel

These are likely due to less refined quality control in CKD locally assembled production batches, not individual negligence.

Such QC issues are not severe but contribute to long-term dissatisfaction with body strength and finish.
