EXPLANATORY NOTE
     This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Visteon Corporation (the “Company”) on January 11, 2006 (the “Original Form 8-K”) to provide updated disclosures regarding the Company’s three-year restructuring and improvement plan as described in the Original Form 8-K. This Amendment No. 1 also furnishes information regarding the Company’s financial results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2005.
SECTION 2 — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On February 10, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding its financial results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2005. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
     The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
     As discussed in the Original Form 8-K, the Company previously announced the commencement of a three-year improvement plan that involves the restructuring of up to 23 underperforming and/or non-strategic plants.
     During the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company recorded $28 million of severance and other restructuring costs related to this three-year improvement plan, which will be settled in cash. The Company is expecting to be reimbursed for these costs from the restructuring escrow account funded by Ford Motor Company on October 1, 2005.
     The Company currently estimates that the cumulative costs associated with this three-year improvement plan will be approximately $650 million, of which approximately $100 million is expected to be non-cash costs. This estimate has been reduced from the Company’s previous estimate as provided in the Original Form 8-K to reflect the reduced value of assets associated with certain plants that have been impaired as described in Item 2.06 below. However, the timing and amount of these costs are likely to change as the details of the plan are finalized over the plan period.
     Statements contained in this report, which are not historical fact, constitute “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in the Company’s most recent report to the SEC on Form 10-Q, which may

be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports to the SEC on Forms 10-K and 8-K. The Company does not intend or assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Item 2.06. Material Impairments.
     During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $335 million to adjust certain lived long-lived assets to their estimated fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” A significant amount of this impairment charge relates to product lines manufactured at facilities that are subject to the Company’s three-year improvement plan discussed above in Item 2.05.
