DETROIT — General Motors‘ U.S. light-vehicle sales fell 15 percent during the second quarter while parts shortages continued to hamper production. The effect of the shortage will continue, as GM holds about 95,000 vehicles awaiting parts.

GM expects to deliver the vehicles to dealers before the end of the year. Affected vehicles include various models across several plants.

“We appreciate the patience and loyalty of our dealers and customers as we strive to meet significant pent-up demand for our products, and we will work with our suppliers and manufacturing and logistics teams to deliver all the units held at our plants as quickly as possible,” Steve Carlisle, president of GM North America, said in a statement Friday.

GM said the hold is unlikely to affect its adjusted earnings guidance of $13 billion to $15 billion for 2022.

In the second quarter, GM dealerships delivered 582,401 vehicles, compared with 688,236 a year earlier.

GM’s second-quarter market share grew an estimated 1 percentage point to 16.3 percent, the automaker said, citing J.D. Power data.

“Our long-term momentum will continue to build thanks to the launches of groundbreaking new EVs like the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, and the tremendous customer response to the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra,” Carlisle said.

GMC delivered 272 Hummer EV pickups during the quarter. The brand sold about 100 Hummers during the first quarter. The Lyriq has been rolling out this spring and summer.

GM said it will gradually increase production of the electric vehicles during the second half of the year. Ultium Cells — a joint venture between GM and LG Energy Solution — will begin making battery cells in Ohio in August.

Despite low inventory levels, the heavy-duty Silverado pickup had its best first half in retail sales since 2007, and the heavy-duty Sierra pickup recorded its strongest first half ever.

Overall, deliveries for Chevy, Buick and GMC dropped by double digits, with Buick facing the steepest decline, at 56 percent. Cadillac deliveries fell 6.7 percent.
