After owning truck for one month, had experienced surging/low frequency vibration at highway speeds. Dealer tech and service manager drove numerous times, but could not determine cause. I then received a recall, in which GM needed to reflash some software to fix an issue with the particulate filter in the transmission. This fixed the surging issue, although the TSB did not reference any issues associated with it.
