There shall be no liability on the part of, and no cause of action shall arise against, any insurer or authorized representative, or its licensed investigative sources, for any statements made by them in a written notice required to be given pursuant to this section.

Any such request shall be made in accordance with Article 3 (commencing with Section 12950) of Chapter 2 of Division 3, and the commissioner shall exercise any power conferred upon him by that article as may be necessary to ensure compliance with this section.
