"With that said, we're putting plans in place to make sure our dealers are best equipped to get the right mix of vehicles into customers' hands during the popular summer selling months."

Bright spots for the month were Elantra, Genesis sedan and Sonata Hybrid, up seven, 18 and 40 percent, respectively.
