What NHTSA recorded

If truck is struck from the side, the cap on the fuel tank could become unsealed, allowing unsafe leakage of fuel. This is a failure to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity". Leakage can be caused by an orange-colored plastic diesel fuel information ring which is found around the fuel tank neck, or by the tether.

Remedy

Upon inspection, fuel cap tethers will be replaced or diesel fuel information rings will be removed.
