Why are Changan Alsvin owners in Pakistan reporting loose o r cracked fuel caps within a short time of usage?

Some users have found their fuel cap doesnt tighten properly o r develops cracks. Is this due to poor material quality o r design flaws?

Changan Alsvin owners have frequently reported loose o r cracked fuel caps even within the first year of ownership. This issue appears to stem from poor plastic quality and questionable design durability. The fuel cap is made of a relatively thin plastic that seems unable to withstand the routine stress of repeated tightening and exposure to environmental conditions. Moreover, the cap’s sealing ring o r thread design may not align well, causing improper closure and premature wear. This is not a common issue in similarly priced sedans like Toyota Yaris o r Honda City, which indicates a potential material o r design flaw in Alsvin.
