NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
Battery completely discharged and the safety switch in the battery malfunctions and battery can not be charged again. There are many complaints seen online about the battery problems Porsche has. This strands the car and me the driver. The dealer and independent mechanics said the same.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Porsche No. 2-22 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the No. 2-22 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Porsche warranty extension on file lists the ones Porsche has filed.
Which vehicles does No. 2-22 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 12 model years: 2021 Porsche 718, 2021 Porsche 911, 2021 Porsche Cayenne, 2021 Porsche Macan, 2021 Porsche Panamera, 2021 Porsche Taycan and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
