TOKYO (Reuters) - In a setback to advancing fuel-cell vehicle (FCV) technology, Toyota Motor Corp said on Tuesday it would recall all six of its hydrogen-powered vehicles after it found a leak in the fuel tank of one of the cars.

Japan's top car manufacturer had begun leasing the million-dollar-plus cars to four Japanese government ministries and two California university campuses last December, becoming the world's first automaker, along with rival Honda Motor Co, to market the environmentally friendly vehicles.

Toyota, the world's third-biggest automaker, said the leak occurred in the vehicle leased to Japan's Environment Ministry while the high-pressure hydrogen tank was being refilled last Thursday.....

Uh, isn't there a much safer way to store hydrogen in a solid state?
