Yes, you certainly did!
An Embraer jet had a minor trim fault whilst executing a missed approach on Christmas Eve. It was immediately resolved using the aircraft's backup elevator trim system.
There has not been any subsequent event since then, and certainly none requiring a return to Basel from Hamburg or anywhere else for that matter.
How's about an even more hysterical thread headline next time, N380UA?
