This type of failure is common with no batter walls, soil wasn't compacted behind the wall. a complete rebuild is not nessary, the first course should still be goodstart at one end tearing down then rebuild as you go with batter, pipe and gravel. The last 6" of fill should be good clay compacted to form a water restant cap.
