Do I need to update or file a new preliminary lien if there is a new contractor on the job?

UtahMechanics LienPreliminary Notice

We filed the preliminary when this job first started in January 2022, but we were not on the job for several months time because the owners were switching the contractor for the entire subdivision. We have preliminary notices filed for each lot we're working on, but the notices have the previous contractors name/info, do I need to update the notice or file a new one because of this?
