The Schedule 13D filed on July 6, 2006 by Pardus Capital Management L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("PCM"), relating to the shares of common stock,
$1.00 par value (the "Shares"), of Visteon Corporation (the "Issuer"), as
amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, is hereby
amended by this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D.


ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     All of the funds used to purchase the Shares described in this Schedule 13D
came from the working capital of the Fund. A total of approximately $85,367,603
was paid to acquire such Shares.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         Item 5, paragraphs (a) through (c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby
amended and restated as follows:

     (a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own 15,000,000 Shares, constituting
approximately 11.7% of the Shares outstanding.

     The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons is based upon 127,982,626 Shares outstanding, which is the total number
of Shares outstanding as of April 30, 2006 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly
Report on Form 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10,
2006.

     (b) PCM possesses sole power to vote and direct the disposition of all of
the Shares held by the Fund. Thus, as of the close of business on July 5, 2006,
the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 15,000,000 Shares, or
11.7% of the Shares deemed issued and outstanding as of that date.

     (c) The following transactions in the Shares were effected since PCM's most
recent filing on Schedule 13D, each of which was effected in open market
transactions.
