Obviously needs some checks. I assume you are still under the OEM warranty.

Strange it is high frequency vibration from 1,000 rpm. First thoughts would be a smooth running test, prove the injectors are OK. Engine mounts, front vibration damping pulley, ancillaries, etc. But it could be something contacting between the drivetrain and body, like an exhaust mount broken off, or something as simple.

The high speed vibration, you have to eliminate wheel and tyre run-out, like buckled rims. If a Hunter road force balance doesn't sort the wheels then you have a more difficult route to finding the cause.
