Cadillac has confirmed it's working on higher-performance models to sit above the just-unveiled CT4-V and CT5-V sedans, prototypes of which were displayed at Belle Island near Detroit, Michigan.

Cadillac will soon begin phasing out engine displacement-based badges, such as 2.0T, 3.6 and 3.0TT, in favour of new ones denoting the maximum amount of torque the drivetrain produces.

If cars suffering the condition are involved in an accident, the metal inflator housing could rupture, sending metal fragments into the cabin, and putting occupants at risk of serious injury or death.
