If you're in jail the warrant was served, not recalled. If you learn that you have a warrant for your arrest or failure to appear, and you feel it's unjustified, you can file a motion to recall the warrant and appear in court to argue why you shouldn't be arrested. If the judge refuses to recall the warrant you are arrested on the spot. If the judge grants the recall you walk out.
