GE, Boeing Issue 777-300ER Alert
According to this Airwise.com story, two incidents of an engine shutdown on the new 777-300ER because of a gearbox problem have brought an alert for inspections to be issued. This engine is used on the AC aircraft.

The GE90-115B is the only engine option on the 773ER but it appears that this gearbox issue only affects a small subset of those engines that have been built recently - likely including the spanking new cattle cars AC has but not the older aircraft.
