Default Wrong data in Jepp GPS database?

I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next door)
which should have also had 126.4 listed, and found no approach freqs in the
database at all. We called NY on 126.4 as normal, and they answered as
usual, so I assume it's still in use.

Anybody else seen this? I assume it's a problem with the database?

A few years ago there was a Jeppesen update that had Waterbury-Oxford
(KOXC) over by Dutchess County (KPOU), almost 50 miles in error.
Jeppesen said it was Garmin's problem, Garmin said it was Jeppesen's.
When I asked Jepp who I should file the lawsuit against, it got fixed PDQ.
