Here is the full report from Av Herald:

Incident: Emirates A388 at Sydney on Nov 11th 2012, engine shut down in flight, engine failure rated contained despite holes in engine case
P&W's website states:

The GP7200 entered service in 2008 with the world's largest A380 fleet, Emirates. The first GP7200-powered A380 was delivered to Air France in 2009. Since entering service, the GP7200 has achieved a 99.9% departure reliability rating without experiencing a single in-flight shutdown.
