What's wrong?
The outriggers on 2012-2013 Terex Digger Derrick and Aerial Devices equipment are the stabilizing legs that support the machine when the boom or digger is in use. Each outrigger cylinder uses hydraulic pressure to extend, hold, and retract that leg. The lock valve cavity is the machined passage inside the cylinder where the valve and seals help hold pressure in the right place.
On the recalled equipment, that lock valve cavity was machined incorrectly. When the cavity is out of shape, the seals in that area can be damaged instead of seating cleanly. Damaged seals do not control hydraulic fluid the way the cylinder needs, which changes how well the outrigger holds its position while the equipment is set up.
There is no warning sign before failure. An operator should not count on a dashboard light, noise, or visible leak to appear before the outrigger cylinder problem shows up.
Who's affected?
Covers both Digger Derrick and Aerial Devices configurations across the 2012 and 2013 model years, with the recall tied to equipment.
| 2012 Terex Digger Derrick | Equipment |

| Units affected | 118 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Damaged seals can let an outrigger drift. If the outrigger cylinder drifts, the unit's stability can be affected and the unit can overturn, increasing the risk of injury. Until inspection is complete, keep the unit out of service if any outrigger movement appears during setup or operation. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Terex Digger Derrick or Aerial Devices unit is included in this recall.
- Contact Terex at 1-605-884-3892 to confirm the inspection and repair path for recall number 13V201.
- Schedule the free outrigger inspection so Terex can check the lock-valve cavity machining and repair seals that let the outrigger drift.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 13V201 and Terex recall SN607 when you call.
- Avoid using the outriggers until the inspection is complete, because outrigger drift can affect stability and lead to an overturn.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Terex technician inspects the affected outrigger cylinders and confirms whether the lock valve cavity was machined correctly. If the machining problem damaged the seals or leaves the outrigger out of specification, the dealer performs the needed repair at no charge. Because the current repair status is not listed as available, ask the Terex service contact what work can be completed now. The dealer repair will be free once available.
