Abstract:
A shutter abnormality notification apparatus issues a notification of an abnormality in a shutter of a variable duct that is provided in a vehicle front end to be capable of adjusting an amount of introduced outside air by moving the shutter. The apparatus includes: an electric circuit that becomes conductive when the shutter and a receiver that receives the shutter contact each other in a duct seal constituted by the shutter and the receiver while the shutter is in the closed position; and a notifier that issues a warning when the electric circuit becomes non-conductive even though an opening operation instruction has not been issued in relation to the shutter in the closed position.
