Chrysler Group LLC is rushing to accelerate the U.S. launch of its redesigned flagship sedan, a once hot-selling model whose sales have slipped, as part of a push to keep on track its ambitious turnaround plan, said three people familiar with the matter.

The company is off to a sluggish start this quarter, and now needs a sales surge later this year to hit its target of selling 1.1 million vehicles in the U.S. When the car maker set the 2010 goal in November it predicted it would break even this year.
