Why are some Changan Kalam owners in Pakistan experiencing early alternator failure?

Many users report alternator malfunction within the first few years of use. Is this due to poor alternator quality o r local driving/environmental factors?

Early alternator failure is often due to a combination of factors:

Subpar alternator quality: The OEM alternator in the Kalam may not be built for high-endurance use in Pakistan’s climate and traffic conditions.

High electrical load: Continuous use of air conditioning, infotainment systems, and poor-quality batteries increases strain.

Dust and heat: Pakistani environmental conditions dust, heat, and humidity degrade components faster than in milder climates.
