The shutter assembly includes a frame and at least one vane operably connected to the frame and selectively positionable between at least an open position and a closed position. The at least one vane includes a body shaped as a cambered airfoil defining a leading edge and an opposing trailing edge. The at least one vane is pivotally connected at a pivot point and is adjustable relative to the frame between at least the open position and the closed position in response to an airflow entering through the at least one grille opening interacting with the leading edge of the body of the at least one vane.
