The 5v BEC can supply 3 amps but this is for all 5 volt devices attached to the TCB (radio receiver, lights and other servos) as well as the onboard processor. So it is adequate for your recoil servo but if you have lots of other accessories you might be nearing the limit.

Since the recoil servo doesn't actuate very often, and then only temporarily, I think you will be fine. If you have issues with processor brown-out, you can try a "glitch buster" or "voltage protector." These are large capacitors used in RC gear for this very purpose. You can just plug it into the unused receiver port, or any unused servo port on the TCB. You can get them many places, including eBay if you search for "Glich Buster" or "Volage Protector"

Of course if you really need more power you can always use a separate BEC for that servo.
