F350s Exhaust Filter That Catches Fire.

While driving my brand new f350 diesel (257 total miles)i saw the screen show "cleaning exhaust filter". I stopped about 3 miles after seeing that and then black smoke starts spewing from the exhaust pipe just under the cab. I used fire extinguisher to put out what I thought was a fire. Called fire dept and they said the temp of the pipe was 230 F. I had the truck towed in and the dealer said they can't find anything. I am afraid to drive the truck now.
