No other warning indicators activated \u2014 no low oil pressure warning, no low oil level warning, no driver alert of any kind regarding engine condition.  On [XXX], at approximately 53,845 miles, the vehicle began running rough. I checked the engine oil and found the dipstick registered empty \u2014 no measurable oil in the engine. No low oil level or low oil pressure warning had been provided by the vehicle at any point prior to this discovery. I added two quarts of oil. The vehicle stalled while being driven to obtain the oil, and stalled again after the oil was added.  I drove the vehicle to Jiffy Lube and had a full oil change performed. Mileage at the oil change was 53,852. I then scheduled an appointment with Gervais Kia in Lowell, Massachusetts, the nearest Kia dealer, less than one mile from my home. The earliest available appointment was approximately one week later.  Because the vehicle stalled repeatedly at idle, I drove it to the dealer using both feet \u2014 keeping engine revs elevated with the accelerator while braking \u2014 to prevent stalling at stops. The vehicle is currently at Gervais Kia for diagnostic inspection.  The symptoms match the failure mode documented in NHTSA recall campaign 25V-099 (Kia recall for 2021-2023 Soul and Seltos with 2.0L Nu MPI engines, piston oil ring manufacturing defect). My vehicle has the 2.0L Nu MPI engine and was manufactured at the Kia Autoland Hwaseong plant identified in the recall filing. However, my VIN does not appear in the current recall population per NHTSA VIN lookup and Kia\u2019s recall lookup.  The recall remedy includes installation of Piston-ring Noise Sensing System (PNSS) software specifically because the defect provides no driver warning before failure \u2014 consistent with my experience, in which the engine ran empty of oil with no warning whatsoever.
