Morphology

recaller = recall (transparent) = recall + er

Agentive '-er' straightforwardly forms 'recaller' from the verb 'recall' meaning 'to call back' or 'to withdraw', so the role (person/organization doing the recall) is directly inferred.

Etymology

The word recaller comes from re- 'back' and call 'to ask or call', like the familiar word recall or the phrase 'call back'. So a recaller is the person or group who asks that a product be taken back.
