I think you need to add some context to the sentence, e.g. what is the "It" that "came back"?

Yes, however 'why' is to my knowledge, unnecessary and serves no function in that precise sentence. Also, if by "come back" you mean "returned", then it's better to use returned.
Probably better to say: "She will call me back with the reason (whose reason?) it came back."
More precise: "She will call me back with the reason SHE BELIEVES it came back."
Better and more precise: "She will call me back with THE CUSTOMER'S REASON as to why it came back."
