NAPA is a Genuine Parts Company distribution brand; the reviewed records do not establish one exclusive maker for every NAPA battery. [1] [2]

Is NAPA batteries made in China or the USA?

US production is documented for the affected Group 48 batches. No catalog-wide US-only or China-origin conclusion follows from that historical example. [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

The recall identifies NAPA Legend 7548 alongside Duracell and Deka labels produced by East Penn. It does not show that every battery sold under those brands has the same design or warranty. [2] [3]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
