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?
