------------------------                             ------------------------

The Schedule 13D filed on May 1, 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 Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to the Schedule 13D, is
hereby amended by this Amendment No. 9 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 $190.2
million 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 29,000,000 Shares, constituting
approximately 22.4% of the Shares outstanding.

     The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons is based upon 129,639,099 Shares outstanding, which is the total number
of Shares outstanding as of May 4, 2007 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9,
2007.

     (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 August 6,
2007, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 29,000,000 Shares,
or 22.4% of the Shares deemed issued and outstanding as of that date.

     (c) Information concerning transactions in the Shares effected by PCM since
the most recent filing on Schedule 13D is set forth in Schedule A hereto and is
incorporated by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all of such transactions
were effected in the open market.
