Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

If the coolant level in the cooling circuit drops below a certain level, this may result in a situation in which the X-ray tube is no longer sufficiently cooled and the system will display the message "TUBE HOT, have a break". Several minutes later the system will block X-ray to prevent further damage and display the message "NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT".

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
