This is a process which can occur on all vehicles supported by the Accessport.
Recovery mode is a state which the Accessport will enter if it detects that it was interrupted during the vehicle install/uninstall/reflashing process. Because of that interruption the flash to your vehicle may be incomplete and prevent the vehicle from starting or running properly. Recovery mode is the state in which the Accessport is working to remove and reflash the incomplete map that was put on the vehicle to restore driveability and start over from a clean baseline.
Typically your Accessport will go into recovery mode when it's attempting to go through the flashing process and is interrupted. This interruption can be caused by things like unplugging the cable, inconsistent battery voltage, having climate control, or lights on, opening/closing the doors, or having aftermarket electronics which interact with the electrical system even when the vehicle isn't running. This can also happen if a proper battery charger is not present on the vehicle when installing.
The simplest way to avoid putting your Accessport into recovery mode is prevention.
When your Accessport is in Recovery mode you will typically only have two options, Uninstall (or recover depending on vehicle family) and troubleshooting. Once you follow the instructions to make sure your vehicle is properly prepped to be flashed, select Uninstall and follow the on-screen prompts. Once the ECU has been recovered you are free to begin the install process again. If your vehicle does not recover at this time, double-check that all of your accessories are disabled and that the vehicle is in the on position but not running, and that your charger is powered on.
