This happens from time to time and depends on the specific firmware version. In this situation, you can bypass the restriction by installing third-party software. For example, CallRec:

Open the Google Play App Store.
Use the search bar to find CallRec and click Install.
After installation, run the program and agree to the terms of use.
Go to the "Recording rules" section and configure the settings for recording.
