Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a potential risk that the headlamp hammer could temporarily close over the low/high beam lighting modules. Should this occur visibility will be reduced for a period of 2-3 seconds before it is restored.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Over the air software update the modified software can also be downloaded at a franchised Volvo retailer if preferred/requested

What changed since we first read it
