[General] 'Recall' as in recall vehicles and vehicle recalls

[jiaruchan]

Please let me know 'recall' meaning asking owners to send their vehicles to the dealerships for repair is pronounced same in both verb and noun forms.

I know the noun is 'recall.

The verb meaning 'recollect some memory' is pronounced as re'call.

How about 'to recall all Prius models?

I would say that the verb used in this way is pronounced the same way as the noun - the stress on the first syllable.

Just to add to the above post (I noticed Linguist__ is from Scotland), I'll confirm that Americans also pronounce it 'recall for both the verb and noun when used like "to recall all Toyota Priuses" or "Toyota has instituted a recall." When using the word to refer to memory, such as, "I don't recall," it is re'call.
