By detached is meant that the drive shaft splines (male) have moved axially out of engagement with (I assume) differential splines (female) inside gearbox.
The bearing mount securing bolts were in position and tight. Volvo Dealer has removed the drive shaft checked, cleaned and reinstalled. Car drives satisfactorily. Because I was unsure of this 'solution' a another (new) drive shaft has been fitted.

Yes the car has 3 year warranty.
