Investopedia explains 'Unscheduled Recast'

Payment option ARMs typically have contractual triggers, which cause an unscheduled recast of the mortgage. These triggers are in the form of a negative amortization limit. Negative amortization on such mortgages is limited to between 110-125% of the loan's original principal balance. For example, if the mortgage's principal balance reaches 110% of the original principal balance due to negative amortization, the loan will recast. This presents a great deal of payment shock risk to the borrower.
