I have the following in both my Emacs 24 and Emacs 25 init.el files ( I 
should have included this in my earlier post):

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rec-mode.el")
(require 'rec-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rec\\'" . rec-mode))

This loads with no problem in Emacs 24; however the above file error 
occurs in my Emacs 25.

If I comment out the (require 'rec-mode) line the Emacs 25 init.el, 
Emacs 25 loads without error.

However, a rec-mode file will not open in rec-mode, but in fundamental 
node,  which I suppose is to be expected.

Best,
