Safety recall for fire risk

But, there is a catch: if inlet valves are already dirty with soot, then there is a high possibility that after recall work, problem with develop even faster, and that I may need expensive engine rebuild. Volvo will NOT cover expenses related to that rebuild. And of course, there is no way to determine amount of soot contamination before recall work.
Basically, I'm facing two options:
1. Not to take recall, facing possible meltdown of inlet manifold
2. Take recall, and then get broken engine that need quite repair

I was wondering, if anyone is aware of any way to check inlet valves, how much dirty with soot are they, and to check if I already may have a issue with exhaust fumes going back into inlet manifold?
If I do pressure check, what values are considered OK? My car are exactly 5 years old, and are just shy of 60000 miles.

The latest engine software contains a routine to test the inlet valve leakage , it should all be part of the recall , they are not handling things properly , don't ignore a recall !
