Not sure if this was the last but the one you are referring to is Air Florida Flight 90 on January 13, 1982 from Washington National (at that time, Reagan was a President, not an airport). In that case, the real problem was pilot error in not properly identifying the icing problems and taking the appropriate steps to deal with it, rather than a failure of the system, per se.
