Default Advice on my Tensioner

Good day,

bought myself a 2011 V60 D3 R-design estate (also first car) . had it about a year now and been doing all the maintenance issues previous owners did not . recently got a issue with utility belt squeaking.

taken it to my regular garage to get belt replaced but they said they couldn't because the engine needed modifying as the tensioner on it is old version and its so used if they put new belt on it would tear it out. apparently it need a modification to a new tensioner design you cant buy the old one. problem is apparently my car records say the modification was already done but it has not been to engine itself

was this part of a recall, i keep finding things that say it might of been? im taking it to a Volvo dealer/workshop tomorrow but its £450 to do the mod and fit the new tensioner style.

any advice or input please
