Cubic graphs with fault cost 1

Establish whether cubic graphs with fault cost 1 exist.

Background

The paper proves that infinitely many cubic graphs have fault cost 3, while its computational investigations report no cubic examples with fault cost 1 in the examined orders. The existence of any cubic graph attaining fault cost 1 remains unresolved and is stated explicitly as a separate open problem.
