Mercedes-Benz will recall 57,843 vehicles on the Chinese mainland due to risks associated with short circuits, the country's quality watchdog said on Tuesday.

The recall involves imported petrol-powered Smart Fortwo produced between Oct. 5, 2010 and June 2, 2014, according the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

The producer will fix the problem with the warm water shut-off valve, which may trigger a short circuit after being used for a long time.

The recall will start on Aug. 22.
