Why are Changan Kalam owners in Pakistan frequently reporting radiator leaks, even in relatively new vehicles?

Many users complain about coolant dripping o r low coolant levels. Is this due to poor build quality, weak radiator caps, o r local driving conditions?

Radiator leaks in Changan Kalam are becoming increasingly common, even under 30,000 km. Likely causes:

Subpar radiator build quality, especially plastic side tanks and joints.

Weak o r faulty radiator caps, unable to maintain system pressure.

Local stress factors: excessive idling, long traffic hours, heat exposure.

➡️ The radiator system may not be built to withstand prolonged Pakistani city driving with extreme temperatures.
