I believe this affects petrol engines only so you won't have any problem with the D5.

Additionally I called Volvo this morning to check if my car would be susceptible being a 52 plate petrol S60. I gave them my registration and they were able to tell me straight away that my car was produced in 2003 and so wouldn't be at risk.

The watchdog site has the number you can call.
