A contrived metaphor: if an unleashed dog bites a person, is the dog owner no longer responsible for the incident?

You could say that it’s up to the car owner to install a steering wheel, like how a dog owner should use a leash. But this would be a gap between when the person receives the car and when they could install the steering wheel (assuming the wheel installation can be performed).
