Comparing the number killed in automobile crashes in a year to the risks from aircraft crashes is a logical fallacy of False Equivalence.

A single car crash may end the life of 1,2, or 5 people. A single aircraft crash can end the life of 250+ people.

Different steps are taken to avoid each. A wheel coming off a car is a problem that might have deadly consequences. It's normally a sign of improper installation by an amateur. A wheel falling off a commercial airliner, from a major carrier in a formerly first world country, is a sign of a very serious problem.
