Can Interactive brokers call back margin loans even on a profitable account?

Suppose an investor’s stock account with IBKR has many stocks bought on margin. The account is profitable. Is it possible that IBKR can launch a nasty surprise by calling back loans even if the account is highly profitable? Of course IBKR won’t do such things. It is a good broker. But I am just thinking of worst-case scenarios just in case.
