    First the accurate way to determine your part number (pn) is based on the car’s vin. You can sometimes verify your correct pn via an online Toyota dealer who requires your vin to find parts.

    There are at least two part numbers for a 2013 v, one for 16” tires and another for 17” tires. A 2013 hatchback won’t work either. Therefore it is essential a used part comes from a 2013 v with the same size tires.

    The next problem can be the seller which is typically a salvage yard. The embossed number on the part is a housing number not a part number. As a result many sellers incorrectly assume any part with the same embossed number is the same part. Which can include both tire size versions and all hatchback parts.

    If the salvage yard documents the vin of the donor car you could verify their brake booster part number.

    Of course these failures are common and were a factory flaw Toyota acknowledged and replaced free for ten years. Which means a used part could be bad as well.

    The book labor for a trained tech is six hours which is a lot of work to waste with a wrong or bad part. Part of the time is a special brake booster flush and calibration with Techstream or other high end scanner. This work is the same if new, rebuilt or used but some diyer’s get stopped here.

    Finally Hybridpit in the SoCal area has a mail in rebuild service for $600. Given a new v brake booster is more expensive than a new hatchback’s part, rebuilt might be the budget option I would consider if diy was my choice.

    i just looked at their website site and the listing has no mention for the c1391 code being able to be fixed. i left a message. i was going to source from lkq. so vin and wheel size is provided. i do all my own stunts so im not worried about the scan tool side of things. my car is 2013 350k miles so recall is out of question. shit it may have had the recall lol.
