Dealer obligations after clerical error on contract

[50Cal]

If a dealer made an error on the car sales contract like type in the incorrect VIN for the new car or the trade-in vehicle and the error gets discovered later, are they not obligated to issue the car buyer a corrected copy of the contract indicating the correct VIN number?

...or even if after the error like that is discovered can the dealer just say "too bad, so sad. A deal is a deal", then refuse to re-issue the vehicle purchaser a new copy of the contract with the corrected VIN? I'm new to all this legalities on car sales so just seeking some insight. I thank you all in advance for your help.

This is very state specific. If it happened in Mass, you can certainly demand a correction under General Laws, Chapter 93A (Consumer Protection Laws). I'm not going to spell it all out, since I have no idea if this happened in Mass or not.
