It's generally recommended, yes. They stick (almost always open) -
especially if the coolant system is not properly maintained.
They will sometimes, in my limited experience, start working better
with fresh coolant and if cycled often- ie you do highway driving
then idle/city, back and forth.
You did flush the system and refill with the blue stuff, yes?
