Hi, yes I resolved the issue. I fully took apart the mirror. It turned out, that it is simply a bad design choice by Volvo. The issue is not in the actuator. Instead, it is the plastic. You see, as time passes by, something changes in the mirror assembly and the plastic parts start rubbing against each other, which makes the mirror get stuck during the automatic unfolding/folding. I simply sanded the affected areas on those plastic parts until the point where there was no more friction. You actually do not need to take the whole mirror apart - simply pop the little cover underneath the mirror, there unscrew the three screws and that will partially separate both parts allowing you to sand the affected areas.
I attached some images with notes in Latvian language:

I also did a video during investigation:
