Narrative:
On descent into cle on cxr (chardon) arrival aircraft deviated from cleared route due to FMS error. Flight crew and ATC simultaneously detected the deviation and ATC reassigned original clearance. Flight crew programmed the intended fix which was published on [charts] page but not in FMS; and proceeded to fix without further incident. Subsequent reloading of arrival regardless of which runway was selected revealed that the lebrn fix never showed in FMS despite being on published chart. Program FMS to include lebrn fix on cxr arrival. Also reiterate to flight crews the importance of verifying and correcting FMS fixes and restrictions on arrival and departure procedures.

Subsequent reloading of arrival regardless of which runway was selected revealed that the LEBRN fix never showed in FMS despite being on published chart.
