If I felt that this software change was beneficial I wouldn't mind paying to have it done, but there isn't much positive evidence out there. The car has done 81000 miles.
Any thoughts?

Have you checked that the recall was for your model?
By no means are all D5's affected. As far as the forum goes no XC90 D5's in the UK at least have had the issue as far as I can see. I think it's a precaution to insure that people who never check their oil levels between services don't end up with an overfilled sump I think. If you don't have a rising oil level I wouldn't worry about it.
