First the DROID never got the Android 2.1 update users were promised. Then, CLIQ owners failed to get the minor upgrade they were expecting. Today, Motorola got it right and the CLIQ was sent out the new 1.3.18 build.

The update is being done on a rolling basis so if you didn't get your notice yet, don't worry-you will. Just keep checking every few minutes and do us a favor-let us know if you notice any changes once you've downloaded it. For a complete list of fixes, check the source link.

So of course, talk started that Motorola had recalled the upgrade. According to the forum manager, Motorola had simply taken the upgrade out for a test drive and if everything works fine, the full upgrade will be sent out. So if you did not receive the upgrade today, or it failed, be patient. Motorola will get the upgrade out. Now, about the DROID...
