I have read on a site that the R3 is the one that has been recalled due to some reason that they have not revealed fully for what reason, and things get hanged up leaving people getting some conclusions that it was defective.

    According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that metal liners of the R3 acetabular system due to a higher than expected number of revision surgeries associated with the use of the device in total hip replacements outside the US was being recalled.

    Best you to discuss this with your doctor to give you the best answer about your inquiry. You could also check some “DePuy Recall News Center” sites for more information.
