No. It’s in the subcategory of bread based meals like sandwiches and pizza, scones, etc. The topology is different. Sandwiches are built with layers. Hot dogs have a bread cup/container with extra condiments wedged on top.
Hot dogs also require a sausage. Sandwiches are agnostic to sausages.
Subs here split a length of baguette or Cuban bread, or long bun. But not all the way through. Then they open it like a hot dog bun & put in the fillings. I hate hot dogs but if a sub is a sandwich, a hot dog is a sandwich.
I’m not sure that’s a valid analogy. Losing an entire wheel would be more akin to losing one half of the bun.
The bun has lost nothing so material. The closest bike analogy might be a snapped brake or gear line, but even that might be too much, because the break in the hotdog does not significantly increase its danger level.

If the bun splits along the fold into two separate halves, does the hotdog become a sandwich?
A hot dog can be, but is not always, a sandwich.
Well, if you’re riding your bike and a wheel falls off does it become a unicycle?
