First time in the history of aviation that a rudder servo, associated with the autopilot, had an issue. First time evah! Sell Boeing stock! Don't get on one!
From the Reuters article - "With coordination with United, the issue was successfully resolved with the replacement of three parts and the airplane returned to service last month."

Single incident. Not exactly the makings of a four hundred page thriller, let alone a sky-is-falling moment. Several identical events might be noteworthy, with the subsequent issue of a service bulletin or airworthiness directive, but not a single one-off incident.
