What causes premature alternator failure in the Hyundai Oshan X7 under Pakistani driving conditions?

Some owners have reported alternator issues in less than 50,000 km. Could dusty roads, poor roads, o r electrical load AC, multimedia systems in Pakistan cause the alternator to wear out early?

In Pakistan, alternators often fail earlier than expected due to:

Dust and debris: Dusty roads clog cooling vents, causing overheating.

Water exposure: Driving through deep water during monsoon can damage alternator bearings o r windings.

High electrical load: Using headlights, AC, infotainment, phone chargers, and added accessories all put constant strain on the alternator.

Heat: High temperatures in cities like Karachi o r Multan can dry out alternator bearings and wear brushes faster.

Preventive tips:

Clean engine bay occasionally without pressure washing directly.

Use genuine o r high-quality parts when replacing the alternator.

Avoid overloading the vehicle with unnecessary electrical modifications.
