The real question is does this mishap REQUIRE notification. Sounds to me that it doesn't. Reread NTSB 830 and this

Never lie, but sometimes silence IS golden.
Your FAA record will not show anything unless they complete an investigation and find you guilty.
If they start an investigation you will get an LOI in the email. I think the courts have ruled that they need to start the investigation within six months, so if you don't hear anything for six months you should be free-and-clear.
This is not a reportable incident from what you described.
Don't lose any sleep over this, but be very careful if you chose to not disclose it. Airlines will ask, and they will expect an honest answer.
