I'm guessing it's phrased as a 'recall' because either
A) It's an 'optional recall' and you could return the phone if you want (in which case they will probably just factory reset and update the firmware and give it back to you)
B) The terminology the ACCC uses (possibly must use due to legislation) is old and just doesn't neatly fit the case of a fault that can be addressed by an over-the-air firmware fix
