Is the rear tailgate of Changan Kalam difficult to open o r close, especially after some months of use in commercial environments?

Owners complain that the latch becomes stiff o r misaligned. Is this an issue with the hinge quality o r mounting?

Yes — latch stiffness o r misalignment is frequent.

Users report:

Latch gets jammed

Tailgate doesn’t shut evenly

Caused by:

Worn o r misaligned hinges

Cheap locking mechanism

Possible warping from repeated heavy loading

📉 This leads to downtime in loading/unloading operations — a problem for fleet owners.
