Mine broke too and I glued it back together with an epoxy made for plastics.

there recline on a seat is operate by a rod that goes the width of the seat and when handle is lifted the rod release's the cam that holds the seat back in position, the handle breaking has let the rod fall to the bottom of the seat back

Should only be 4 bolts holding it in ?, If You have the tools toremove lube up the frame , but be very careful about the recliner , usually a heavy duty Tension spring could get dangerous if you mess with it ! any Uposery shop should be able to fix it

It sounds like the inside of the recliner knob is stripped out. If you go to your local GM dealership and give them your VIN number they can order you a new one. Here is the removal and installation directions.

The lock is likely stripped.This often happens when too much pressure is placed on the seat back and damages the ratchet mechanism.I would recommend replacing the seat frame

REMOVE TAIL GATE HANDLE YOU USE A TRIM TOOL OR FLAT SCREW DRIVER PRY OFF THE HANDLE ESCUTCHEON DOWN AND AWAY FROM THE TAILGATE IF SCREW DRIVER IS USED COVER THE TIP WITH ELECRICAL TAPE TO PREVENT DAMAGING PAINT SURFACE.FROM THE BED SIDE OF THE TAILGATE REMOVE THE HANDLE MOUNTING BOLTS.ROTATE THE PLASTIC RETAINING CLIPS OFF THE CONTROL RODS AND DETACH THE RODS FROM THE HANDLE. REMOVE THE BOLTS AND WITHDRAW THE LATCH FROM THE END OF THE TAILGATE.PUT EVERY THING BACK VISA VERSA.

I believe the recliner is a part of the whole entire seat bottom. If not and it's just the handle pretty simple screw driver can fix that.

I will bring the seat to a shop for repair.
