It refers to a vehicle that is prone to being involved in devastating accidents. It is a slang term, often applied to motorcycles or very fast cars that are difficult to control. People applied it to the Chevrolet Corvair and the Ford Pinto.

Anything that features a goodly bunch of death, and wheels (that move the thing around) qualifies, I believe. So a chariot with bladed wheels or Leonardo Da Vinci’s armored car or a mobile slaughterhouse or mobile euthanasia unit would qualify, but a torture/execution device that features wheels but doesn’t move around on the wheels would not.
