Call risk

The risk to a lender/investor from the potential calling - for early redemption - of a callable bond. It gives the investor the unexpected problem of re-investing their money returned early. So if interest rates have fallen the investor will receive a lower than expected return, for the unexpired term of the original (callable) bond.
