Hi,
If a Torah scroll contains a word which is written incorrectly, that Torah may not be used for the public kriat hatorah. This is true even where the textual change does not alter the meaning.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:20:27)

Errors in Sifrei Torah during Maftir
Hi,
If an error is found in a Torah during maftir, then:
On a regular Shabbat - Do not bring out a new Torah. Conclude the maftir reading from the disqualified Torah, and do not recite the closing berachah.
On a Shabbat when a second Torah is used for maftir, or on Yom Tov - Bring out a new sefer torah, finish reading in the new Torah, and recite the closing berachah.
(Mishneh Berurah 143:23)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Errors in Sifrei Torah, one more
Hi,
If an error is found in a Torah on a Shabbat morning after the last regular aliyah but before maftir, and kaddish has already been recited, then maftir is read from the disqualified Torah, but without any berachot, ideally with the same oleh who had the last aliyah, and he should then read the Haftorah with its berachot.

Errors in Sifrei Torah, continued still further
Hi,
If an error is found in a Torah on a Shabbat morning after the last non-maftir aliyah, but before kaddish, then the last aliyah is considered as the maftir, and he recites the Haftorah. Kaddish is recited after the haftorah.

Errors in Sifrei Torah, continued further
Hi,
If an error is found in a Torah on a Shabbat morning after three or more sentences have been read in that aliyah, and the reader is now at a point where he may, halachically, stop the aliyah, then they close the Torah and the oleh recites the closing berachah.

Errors in Sifrei Torah, continued
Hi,
If an error is found in a Torah during an aliyah on Shabbat morning, after 2 sentences have been read, then the reader stops, a new scroll is brought out, and we continue reading until the closest eligible paragraph break.
If the reading is from a special maftir aliyah, one reads from the new Torah until the end of that maftir aliyah.
(This os Mishneh Berurah 143:13; note that Aruch haShulchan Yoreh Deah 279:5 disagrees on the first paragraph above, ruling that we read additional pesukim in the previous Torah until we reach an acceptable stop, then recite the closing berachah.)

Replacing a sefer torah
Hi,
Sometimes halachah requires that a sefer torah be replaced mid-reading. If this happens on a Shabbat when multiple sifrei torah have been removed for reading, one should not take the replacement torah from one of those that were initially removed for reading. Each is designated for its own mitzvah.
(Pri Megadim Orach Chaim 143 Eishel Avraham 9 אם)

Errors in Sifrei Torah
Hi,
If a mistake is found in a Torah after the person called to the Torah has recited the opening berachah and before two sentences have been read, then a new Torah should be brought and used. If the rest of the Torah reading can be divided into seven readings (on Shabbat), this would be good to do.
(Mishneh Berurah 143:16)
The Mishneh Berurah (143:20) says no new berachah should be recited, assuming that the person called to the Torah has not interrupted in conversation with others. The Aruch haShulchan (Yoreh Deah 279:5) disagrees, ruling that a new opening berachah is required.
