reply re Amazon listing: yes, that looks like the listing. Also, that's the part # I ordered; I believe it got edited out of my initial posting. The install sheet does indicate N6/N8 so that would seem to confirm it'll fix your unit too. Comment made re keeping heavy items off of door is certainly correct too; we figured that out after the failure, and will continue to avoid weighting down the door even after this fix.
Another item that creates a lot of weight is wood inserts that are put on front of the door to match interior of RV.
The door failures were a big thing on the Kodiak Chassis forum back in 2010/11. I have not heard of any failures since the brackets were installed.
The part # listed above is the same one in that forum. The "KIT" part number is 634166.
