What does it mean when interlock says recall?

What is an early recall interlock?
Early recall means that a person’s ignition interlock device recorded one tampering or circumvention event, or any ignition interlock malfunction, that requires a person to return to a service center within 72 hours.
What can cause a false positive on interlock device?
Gas at high levels can also lead to a false positive. Further, diabetics and those on certain high protein diets that raise acetone levels may experience a false positive too. As a result, the IID or PAM mistakes the residue of various products and the results of certain foods or diets as evidence of intoxication.
How long does it take for interlock to reset?
IIDs usually reset a few hours after a total interlock test failure. Until that time, you will not be able to start the vehicle, no matter what you do. Just lock your vehicle, sober up and start the waiting game.
How long does a lockout last on an interlock?
