You can find the recall number in ForeFlight Mobile in the Navlog, International Navlog, and the Flight Summary in the Flights view. If you have Dispatch, you can find the recall number in the Flight Summary bar and in flight release emails. 

When is the recall number generated?

The recall number is generated upon filing a flight plan in ForeFlight Mobile and may be regenerated if the flight plan is amended. If you have Dispatch, the recall number is generated when you release, save, or amend a flight.
