I just spoke to my Service Manager and she relayed information from the Nissan Technical District Service Manager that the replacement hoses currently being installed are "band-aid hoses", not the final "countermeasure hose" that is supposed to permanently fix this issue. Nissan is still working on getting the final countermeasure hoses manufactured. I am taking the Rogue in on Monday for the band-aid hose installation. We'll see if it helps.
2023 Rogue Gas Leak/Gas Fumes/Engineering Review/Recall
2023 Rogue-Same gas smell inside cabin and outside of car as others here have reported. Took the Rogue to the local Nissan dealership yesterday, and they said Nissan is aware of the issue and that the Rogue is under Engineering Review. Nissan dealership said they checked for gas leaks to make sure there was no safety problem, but that there was nothing else to do until Nissan issues a recall or figures out a fix for wherever the gas is leaking. Dealership said I had to be able to visually see leak and not just smell gasoline for them to do more. Also, I stay in the mid 20s for gas mileage even though I drive on Eco. Contacted national Nissan # and supposedly someone should be contacting me, but I see others have had no luck resolving this issue either. Unsure of what next steps should be

Yah, I was afraid of that. Sounds like they're installing the same bad hoses that failed in the first place, just hoping they'll last for awhile. I guess most of them aren't. Dang supply chain sucks big wind.My bandaid fix failed after a couple of days
Does anyone have a picture of the hose in question and the location on the engine? Or a copy of the Service Ticket to install the BandAid hose?
The band-aid hose is not just the same OEM hose. The hose going to be installed on Monday was sent to my dealer from the Nissan TDSM. I will get some photos and more info when I take the car in.
Same thing happened to me. New hose installed,
2022 Rogue w 6k miles, went right back to smelling like gas 3rd time I drove it. Pointless. Hose was small, probably less than a foot long.

Looks exactly like what they used on mine. Hope yours works. Will be curious to hear back from you. Still can’t decide what to do. Sell at a major loss, hope for a permanent fix, wait for class action lawsuit to get traction, hire a lawyer for lemon law.
My plan is to wait for a permanent fix. If you don't want to wait, them go the Lemon Law route. No reason to sell for a loss, and the Class Action is going to take years to play out and the lawyers will walk away with the bulk of the money.Looks exactly like what they used on mine.

You have a hunch they will eventually figure this thing out, huh? Id like to just keep my Rogue but it’s a roll of the proverbial dice. Anyone else out there have the band aid fix work or fail?
The hose in the pics is the PCV breather. If anybody wants to try a DIY, it's pretty simple to get at (right on top of the engine) and is just held by a pair of corbin spring clamps. I think coating it with some flexible silicone circuit-board sealer like this would probably eliminate the problem. You need soldering-iron temperatures to affect this type of sealer, so until they get some hoses with better materials for a factory fix, I think this type of coating would provide a long-lasting one (if not permanent):

PS - I think a thin coating of common Plasti-Dip might work too.

Softens it, but it's the ethanol that's letting the fumes leach through. I'm pretty sure Plasti-Dip is impervious to that. Might not be permanent, but if it gets y'all through till next winter, I'd expect Nissan will have better hoses available.Gasoline dissolves plastidip.
Anyone get the new hose and actually have it resolve the stink problem?
Mine still has the smell, its even worse now after the part replacement, atleast for my car, it didn't help resolve the issue. Mine is a 23' rogue platinumAnyone get the new hose and actually have it resolve the stink problem?
More than softens, it liquifies it. I know for sure that gasoline and rubbing alcohol will take plastidip right off wheels. All you have to do is put it in a spray bottle, spray it on the wheel, wait, and it'll wash right off with a pressure washer.Softens it, but it's the ethanol that's letting the fumes leach through.

I'm not a chemist, but I think ethanol and rubbing alcohol are very similar.
I'm no chemist either, you could be right, but I don't think the amounts involved here would would do any more than soften it. If fumes could affect it, it would be dripping off every electrical part people painted it with in an engine box, and of course it doesn't. Whether it would be permeable just like the original hose material is a different question, it might be. The silicone PCB coating I suggested definitely won't be, but it also isn't as flexible, so in the long term cracking might be a problem. It just shouldn't be a long-term issue, the people upstairs assure me there are hoses with better material in the manufacturing pipeline. They're just not available yet.
Well, I can tell you the alcohol has nothing to do with it, it's strictly the gas taking it off your wheels. I just left some black P-D (genuine name-brand) in an isopropyl bath for over an hour and it had zero effect. P-D lists xylene, toluene, and naptha as thinners, which makes sense with gasoline, but I think makes it doubtful that any sort of alcohol would affect it.I know for sure that gasoline and rubbing alcohol will take plastidip right off wheels.

I don’t think any newer better hose is going to correct the problem of gas mixing into oil but I’m no mechanic. I’ll probably cut my losses and lemon law this thing.
