No. The issue is that the pawls line up in such a way that load unseats them rather than digging them in. It's probably toast. However, sometimes they are just really gunked up. In that case a cleaning and regreasing may save them. If you can't take them apart, spray some WD40 in the back until it works again, and then inject some fresh grease. Note that that is only a temporary solution.
