(3) Any language, oral or written, in a consumer lease, which attempts to limit or modify the lessee’s remedies for breach of a manufacturer’s express warranties, shall be unenforceable, unless such manufacturer maintains facilities within the commonwealth sufficient to provide reasonable and expeditious performance of the warranty obligations.
