Please check your apt configuration by running: $ apt-config dump | grep Recommends APT::Install-Recommends "1";
"1" indicates that recommends is activated and they should be installed by default. If recommends is disabled then double check the apt configuration files at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d (or maybe a custom /etc/apt/apt.conf).
