2020 E450 4Matic U-Joint Recall

Tomorrow, my wife and I are leaving on a road trip to Napa, California.
Yesterday I received a recall notice that the U-joint between the transfer case and the front axle transmission could fail, resulting in loss of propulsion without warning.
The car was serviced a week ago. I'm going to check to see if they inspected for this.

Does anyone know anything about this recall? I'm not. sure about taking the car on the trip.

The part about it failing without warning is a bit unnerving.
