Pop down to your local dealer and ask them, or call Volvo UK customer services and they will advise you if it needs doing.

Absolutely. Not only are such recalls free of charge to the owner, Volvo have a long history of being uber cautious and issuing recalls at the slightest whiff of trouble. Even then, they don't issue that many.
Compare that with GM, who have car dashboards spontaneously combustion while being driven and they dragged it out for years denying there was a problem, and only issued a recall to have modified (and doubtless expensive) new fuse boards fitted when the media pressure became so great it was starting to hurt sales.
Manufacturers issue recalls, Volvo for all their faults are more conscientious than most when it comes to issuing them, and you're quite right to suggest melodrama is utterly unwarranted.
