I just received my letter from Volvo inviting me to call the dealer to arrange the recall fix. I called and was told it is only a software upgrade which should take less than an hour. They weren't able to tell me what this does other than cancelling the recall. I guess all it does, as others believe, is to monitor for compression loss on each cylinder and if detected shuts the cylinder down and puts the car in limp home mode. Not a solution to the underlying problem but a method of avoiding a fire!
