This is what he told me when I queried the fact that Volvo are investigating the matter themselves:

"VOSA, unlike the manufacturer, does not have the detailed product/ specification knowledge and testing facilities and therefore relies on the manufacturer to conduct an investigation.However, VOSA engineers almost always participate, often recommend testing methods and are therefore kept fully informed.

Should VOSA disagree with a manufacturers decision then, if necessary, VOSA is empowered by legislation ( General Product Safety Regulations 2005) to apply penalties. However, voluntary action is always encouraged.

In the matter of the adequacy of the warning. This is part of the ongoing investigation and as yet I am unable to comment. However, one of the things we are looking at is the ' limp home' mode the engine adopts when the warning occurs and whether this is adequate to enable a driver to take an appropriate action. "
