\"Mistakenly manufactured parts\" might be a suitable solution, it captures any ambiguity that could be present and makes no judgment as to what the real situation might be.

¿Tiene sentido o no?

neutral  Sol: eso sería "fabricadas por error", no "de forma errónea"
3 mins
  -> Sería razonable, pero simplemente señalo la duda.
neutral  George Rabel: I don´t know how you arrived at this conclusion, Henry.
4 mins
  -> It's not really a conclusion, just a possibility.
neutral  Sandy T: I agree with Henry that if we use 'by mistake' it may mean the parts were not needed. However, this is not the meaning I perceive from the phrase in spanish
2 hrs
  -> I also favor the other meaning, but would also suggest "Mistakenly manufactured parts" which would cover it all. A lo mejor no me conviene andar "sembrando dudas".
