Yes, it should imply a right to repair for all types of items.
Mind you, right to repair is a separate question from right to use on public streets. The former is between the manufacturer and the owner, the latter is between the owner and the public/the state. There may be additional requirements to be allowed to use a repaired vehicle on public streets, but the important point is that that is none of the manufacturer's business, the requirements are set by the state, not by the manufacturer.

Indeed. This is usually called "roadworthiness" and varies between states. In fact, this is why the whole custom/car modding/hot rod culture can exist --- and from what I've seen, it's not been detrimental to overall safety. The vast majority of deaths come from idiotic/drunk/distracted drivers, not problems with modded/repaired cars.
