Narrative:
We were cleared for the rnp Z in abq from the STAR; tntoe is the (if) and also a transition fix on the STAR. We needed some vectors off the STAR to maneuver around some virga and then back direct to tntoe. The rest of the approach preceded normally and we landed and taxied to the gate. There was no query from abq ATC about the approach. We then preceded to ZZZ; and upon arrival I received a phone call from flight ops asking us if we knew we had missed a fix on the approach. We were not able to recall any issues with the approach; since we had briefed the STAR approach and transition without any issues. Flight ops then explained that the FAA knows there are problems with this approach and we are trying to have this approach revised. We never received a route discontinuity when reselecting the tntoe fix after our vector around the weather; but apparently the issue is the bilde fix to gernl (fap).
