Popped the hood and noticed this loose connection. What part is this and is this cause for concern? I have a 4 hour road trip coming up in a week. 2014 Mercedes e350

It's part of the air intake duct. No problem. You can push it back on. You would have to remove it to change your air filter.

there's a chance your engine mounts are getting weak allowing the motor to move around too much.
Put engine in gear to test this.
