The vehicle shutter is provided with: a plurality of flaps 13 capable of opening and closing an outside air introduction path 8 for introducing outside air into an engine compartment and arranged in parallel to each other so as to cross the outside air introduction path 8; a linkage operation section linking the flaps 13 with each other to perform an opening/closing operation of the flaps; a drive section driving the flaps 13 to be open and closed through the linkage operation section; an abnormality detection section detecting an abnormality of the flaps 13 on the basis of an operating state of the drive section; and an abnormality notification section notifying the abnormality to a user on the basis of output from the abnormality detection section. Opening failure detecting restriction units 13j and closing failure detecting restriction units 13k are formed on adjacent flaps 13 as turn restriction units which restrict, when power transmission to one of the adjacent flaps 13 from the drive section is cut off, the other flap 13 from turning.
