A Sunwing Boeing 737-800, registration C-FFPH performing flight WG-426 from Montreal,QC (Canada) to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) with 189 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing through 8000 feet out of Montreal when the crew received a "stabilizer out of trim" indication, disengaged the autopilot, re-adjusted the trim and engaged the autopilot again. The climb was continued. Climbing through FL310 towards FL340 the "stabilizer out of trim" indication illuminated again. The crew worked the related checklists, disengaged the autopilot and manually descended the aircraft to FL280 (below RVSM airspace). After consulting with dispatch the crew decided to return to Montreal, where the aircraft landed safely but overweight on runway 06R about 80 minutes after departure.

The Canadian TSB reported emergency services checked the brakes before the aircraft taxied to the apron. No investigation into the reportable incident was opened.
