I would have the tires checked for balance as well as the alignment checked before you do anything else. With the car being so new you wouldn't expect to have this problem but, it happens.

Defitely get the tires/wheels rebalanced and have the alignment checked/fixed. Are you the only driver? if not maybe somebody crunched a curb or pothole.

Affirmative. This will likely solve your problem.
