My 2013 FR-S is currently at the dealership and that's what they're telling me the problem is. Fat price of $1,721 to fix it. Not sure if I should talk to another mechanic shop.

The charcoal canister is an emission control component warrantied by a separate 8 year/80,000 mile policy covering parts and labor 100% as described in the Evaporative Control System, Warranty & Maintenance Guide.
I can't say for certain that the same policy was in effect for 2013MY, but my hunch is it was.
If you're still within warranty time and mileage, you're golden. The dealer would be risking a showdown with Toyota otherwise, it's a serious Federal offense for a dealer to deny EPA mandates. One call to the Toyota 800# will get the dealer's attention quickly if they deny coverage.
See p. 18 in the link for 2019 86 or if you have the separate Warranty & Maintenance Guide that came with your car, even better:
