If your audited under the code for storage and distribution, the language is really clear
15.6 Notification of Recalls and Regulatory Infringements If your site initiates a food safety event that requires public notification, such as a Class l or Class ll recall or receives a regulatory warning letter, you must notify your certification body and SQFI in writing at foodsafetycrisis@sqfi.com within twenty-four (24) hours of the event. Your certification body and SQFI are required to be listed in your essential contacts lists as defined in system element 2.6.3 of the SQF Food Safety Code: Storage and Distribution. Your certification body is required to notify SQFI within a further forty-eight (48) hours of any action it intends to take to ensure the integrity of the certification.
So if your site DID NOT initiate the recall, it's not on you to perform the notifications
FYI you should have the code open during audits as a referance to save you all kinds of confusion and allow you to question them at the time quoting chapter and verse
