That most likely isn't correct, Raid 1+0 is often described as supporting "at least" one drive failure, but that isn't the same as two drives.

It is a mirrored stripe set, so you could have two drives fail and be fine, if they are both the same side of the mirror, but a second drive failure could also take everything out!

Get it changed ASAP is my advice
