I can't say anything more at this time, but I can disclose that Engineering has found the source of the problem and there are parts being manufactured as we speak. They'll be issuing a service bulletin as soon as the parts chain catches up. I'm told the problem is a materials issue in the PCV system related to winter fuel (porous rubber would be my educated guess), and that the problem is almost totally limited to areas with temperatures below freezing. The fix is on the way.

thanks for the update .... "the problem is almost totally limited to areas with temperatures below freezing" it seems there are some buyers living in hot region too, if I recall correctly the previous posts

Might be winter fuel mixtures all the time in other countries, and if it's a porosity issue as I suspect, it could probably happen any time of year in places where the ethanol content is high year round. Here in the central US, I'm told there are almost no cases on record south of Kansas. That jives with what I've seen personally, I don't know of any complaints at our dealership here in Arkansas.

My girlfriends 2022 Rogue regularly smells like gasoline after sitting in the garage. We're in the Tucson area (it occasionally dips below freezing, but this is definitely not a cold climate)..

Dunno what your fuel situation is out there. If AZ mandates a winter mix even though Phoenix and Tucson aren't Flagstaff, then I'd imagine it could happen under any circumstances. If it's a porosity issue as I suspect, the high ethanol mix and winter additives would be the driving factors, cold would probably just exacerbate it. I presume we'll all find out when the bulletin issues.

My 23 rogue smells like gas on the inside and outside. Today I’m taking my rogue into a dealership 2 get two new hoses with different coating. Did t say where they we’re putting g them but it takes 45 minutes for the install. Dealership states others had the same thing done on their 23 rogues and can no longer smell gas. Will report back later!

If it works, get the part numbers for the replaced parts and I can cross index them to find out exactly what they're doing. Sounds like PCV hoses given what else I know, but that could confirm it.

Today I took my gas smelling 23 Rogue to the dealership and they replaced a hose in the engine bay. Dealership said they were one of the first to get these new hoses . The dealership said this should stop the gas smell. Will keep y’all posted!

He said the hoses were high pressure

since the hose replacement I haven’t smelled gas and it seems my mileage is better. It’s been one day so keep that in mind. More to follow…

Has nissan issued any official bulletin for this repair? I am sure if I go to my dealer they will not do anything unless there's a recall or a bulletin. I am in canada facing similar issue with my nissan rogue sv after 2000 kms.

 

[VStar650CL]

There was no bulletin showing in ASIST yet as of yesterday.

I don’t know. I just took my car there and that’s what they did.

What a relief, thank you for the update!

Yes, but only during the winter time. I bought the car in March 22 and it was warm rest of that year, then this year has been colder than last and it has been a constant smell since.

Hello, fellow Tucsonan. AFAIK we do get the winter blend in order to reduce the smog in the winter time and meet EPA requirements. Areas outside of the two major metro areas can use "conventional gas" year round. I just hope this TSB comes out before the winter blend goes away and the problem is no longer replicable.

Also relieved to hear about the MPG increase because I've seen a huuuuge dip since this started, around 6-8 MPG. Haven't hit 31 since.

It’s been nearly a week and I have zero fuel smells in my 23 rogue. Fingers crossed!
