the black was probably just carbon in the water vapors. you might be running slightly fuel rich.

I would check and find out exactly what code your cel is throwing. It might be your o2 sensors are saying that you cat is under performing. And if thats the case it would explain the black smoke. your dealer should be abe to fix it under warranty.

All cars and trucks do this so there is nothing to worry about.
